Nicely done governorgeneral, you make a strong argument for keeping the wheat sheaf logo reflecting "thirty years of trust, common meaning and shared memory."
I've been thinking about a new logo to represent Saskatchewan, the government has said they would like to put a more modern spin on it, which does not necessarily mean axing the sheaf.
Modern eh? New colors, or perhaps a new pattern?
A modern logo to represent Saskatchewan, what should it look like? I'm thinking Saskatchewan has has place on the world stage, but if there were a live performance, what role would Saskatchewan play?
Random thoughts: Land of the Living Skies, Wheat Sheaf, Bread Basket of Canada, Resources, Oil, Gas, Uranium, Diamonds, Potash, Synchrotron, Canadian Light Source, Vastness, Welcoming, Accepting, Contrasting, Untouched, Natural, Hot, Cold, Meaning, History, Next to Alberta......thats the current view, but what about the future?
More musings and an idea for a more modern logo: What role might Saskatchewan play, or how might it contribute to the world for the next 30 years? (last update for logo was 70's)....I keep coming back to Agriculture for some reason and subsequently the Wheat Sheaf, but how has Saskatchewan changed since the 1970's? Has wheat, sheaves, farming, agricultural production changed in Saskatchewan? How? Through technology we achieve greater efficiency....hmmmm, a modern wheat sheaf is genetically engineered is it not? And harvested with GPS navigated combines, and shipped through road, rail, and sea transport networks to countries around the world....Take a globe and stamp a wheat sheaf on it, theres your new logo
I've got nothing else, we should explore other jurisdictional logos (Canadian and International), that could take some time.
I don't mind the logo as is, there are more pressing concepts and ideas to discuss and develop, none of which include redesigning a logo which still reflects the growth of the province and vitality of its people, unless we wish to incorporate a greater emphasis on the technological side of growth and vitality, then we should add that somehow....I'm no design expert, so don't expect any fancy conceptuals of a modern technological wheat sheaf....end of thoughts.
