Political symbol needed

A new political party is being formed in Sweden and is in need of a party symbol. The text below contains information concerning both the work and the organization it will represent. Please ask us if you have any questions or concerns. Furthermore, we expect the following information to be kept confidential.



The party seeking the symbol currently consists of a small group of people gathered to try to get sweden politics to take a new direction, focusing on issues concerning individual rights, democracy and economy. The ideology of this party is Paleoconservatism or Paleolibertarianism (Paleoconservatism in particular) and may be associated with organizations such as the Campaign for Liberty in the United States, political representative Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Paul Rand and historical figures as Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. We have been working to put these thoughts and ideas in a Nordic perspective where we are working politically for greater individual freedom, more democracy and a broader Nordic cooperation (rather than internationalization by the EU). Based on this, we have chosen to call our party the Nordic Freedom Party, Freedom, because this is our goal and heritage from our paleoconservative ideology and Nordic because we have the ambition to establish our party and political movement in all of the Nordic countries and promote a deeper Nordic Community (rather than internationalization by the EU).



Almost all of the swedish parliamentary parties have choosen some kind of flower as their party symbol (Except for the Moderate party). Traditionally, it is quite common for political parties to choose a plant or an animal as their symbol worldwide. Of originality (as said before, most swedish parties have plants as their symbol), we chosed an animal instead that also can be linked to Norse mythology, after all we are a Nordic party.



Currently, we only have partly descriptive pictures, which amplify our desires on the party symbol, there is no complete picture to build upon more than a very poor amateur version that can be attached via e-mail.



"A great silver raven embraced with the circle of eternity" is our party symbol described with a single sentence. Our party symbol is a raven (intended to be one of Odin's two ravens Hugin and Munin from Norse mythology, the bird itself symbolizes freedom and independence) of silver (to symbolize something original against the establishment, something exclusive and elegant), often (with opportunity to vary) set against a dark blue/navy blue background (dark as it highlights the color of the raven and get it to shine, blue is generally a color that makes a calm appearance and political stands for the conservatism (in Sweden and Europe) and also liberalism and libertarianism (in Sweden and Europe) are included). The raven will have visible feathers (not too detailed, though) of silver and one eye (the only one visible) of emerald, shining deep green (green is also a calming color, linked to nature and according to some pre-Christian mythology is green for the element earth and the direction north. Politically connected to the environmental awareness and in some other context, conservatism). Raven is embraced by a circle of silver (the circle represents eternity/timelessness), in our own amateur version of the party symbol it is a simple circle, and without further details/decorations, we are however open to suggestions on decorations that refer to Norse mythology and its spirit/culture (braids, knots, bolts or other things that are aesthetically pleasing).



The deadline is the end of this year (the 31th of December) but preferably as soon as possible.



We are still a very small group of people with very limited financial means and large expenditures. We also have to pay for trademark protection, registration of the organization, website, etc.. We are therefore compelled to suggest a pretty low bid of around 750 SEK/110 USD. The bid is negotiable and there are good chances for future work in successful cooperation. Despite our low bid, we want to be sure that you have what it takes to make our party symbol, working until we are satisfied (within reason of course) and respect our wishes. Creative suggestions for changes to our symbol is welcome as long as the basics is respected (silver raven, emerald eye and embracing circle).



The Raven and the circle will be the primary symbol of the party with ability to set this symbol against different backgrounds. The format should be .eps (vector format) and will be used to our website, printing of t-shirts, banners, flyers, pins and much more.
