Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

The new Conservative administration on Lancashire County Council has introduced a Tudor Rose logo to replace the Red Rose that is seen as being too close to the Labour Party logo.

They have missed a trick. The new logo should be a 14 petalled rose with two of the petals removed to represent the absence of Blackpool and Blackburn.

Either that or they should have introduced a logo showing a tin of Kennomeat to represent the complete dogs dinner that is local government in Lancashire!

The Lancashire rose is a historical emblem that surpasses the council, what are they thinking of - the idiots!

How much, I wonder, of taxpayers money has been squandered on scoring political points?

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

It isn't being replaced with the Tudor rose, according to Tealeaf.

(See post 63 in this thread.)

Whatever it is, it's another total waste of money, which could have been spent on a thousand other, more worthier needs, in the county.

The Tudor Rose
The dynasty of the Tudors was symbolised by the Tudor Rose which was the emblem of the Tudors and represented the fusion of the Lancastrian and Yorkist noble factions. This fusion was symbolised by the White rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster. An important emblem of the Tudors dynasty which marked the end of the devastating English civil war called the Wars of the Roses. This section covers the design and adoption of the Tudor Rose by the Tudors and where the emblems and designs can be found. A picture of the emblem is illustrated as follows:

Tudor Rose

i am proud of the red Rose of Lancashire - one son born in Blackburn but the second one in Sheffield. My wife and I had an agreement - i could plant a red rose but also had to plant a white one - peace was maintained.

So, they went ahead and did it !! Comments by The Leader:-

News : Lancashire's red rose revamp

Note the logo in the top right hand corner ... just one big blob .. yuk!

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

County Councillor Geoff Driver, leader of the county council, said "The Tudor rose is a much-loved and well-known symbol of Lancashire and is part of our county's heritage. The new logo reintroduces the county's rose and mixes it with an up-to-date look."

No it isn't!!!

Where the hell do we get these numpties from?

As well as being costly, it's also wrong.

As others have said, the Tudor rose is a hybrid, uniting the roses of the houses of Lancaster, and York.

Absolute cretins, or more to the point we're the cretins, for voting these idiots into positions of power.

You mean it was created when we won? ..

Anyway how much is it going to cost Garinda?

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

Agree, not exactly state-of-the-art, up-to-date look ... :D Still was done 'in house'...:rolleyes:

This statement is also intriguing: "Lancashire County Council's red rose logo has been updated with a new image which will also save the council money. "

How ? Any change in marketing costs a 'company' money surely ?

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

Come on Andrew, change your political head and put on the economy/artistic one please .... feel sure you will agree the new logo is crap ....

Guess this is just another example of declining standards of Education , don't they teach 'proper' English history anymore ? :rolleyes: :D

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

The first decision which took 3 weeks was to increase their allowances. The 2nd decision was to change the logo.

How will it save money??

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

Jeez kate thats a tough un yer asking.:D

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

Dunno' Graham, over and out to you now to ask the question, sure is puzzling me ... http://planetsmilies.net/confused-smiley-17424.gif

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

It'll cost me the same as every other poor sod in the county who's paying for it.

Having a council leader who proudly, and wrongly, proclaims that the Tudor rose is the symbol of Lancashire is cringeworthy, and shameful.

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

Apparently not to the leader of Lancashire County Council.

God forbid H.B.C. sells Haworth Art Gallery to them.

They'll probably think Tiffany glass is a member of the Pussycat Dolls.

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

Maybe, we should be democratic and take a vote ... :D

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

I'm suprised they haven't gone the whole hog, and totally wiped away any historical accuracy, and given us this.

Still it's only money.

It's not like people worked hard to pay the taxes, that have funded this.

It grows on trees, don't you know?

Or should that be bushes?

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

Top ....its the traditional symbol of Lancashire , same as Yorkshires was the same/similar but White in colour

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

interesting link ...the 'new' red rose is the similar to the original which dates back to 1485

Red Rose of Lancaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the link also mentions the Lancashire flag , anyone know if they are for sale a County Hall

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

The last I heard the logo was only going to be changed on items when they needed replacing. The replacements would be cheaper as the new logo uses fewer colours.

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

Cllr Driver says

"Local people tell us that they want clear and regular communications from us, and to know who to go for to get the services they need. The new logo is one step in our plans to improve the way we deal with our residents


Note the use of the words 'clear and regular'before he then goes on to say


'And we will not be changing things like signs, uniforms and letterheads overnight - only when materials need replacing and have to be changed."


The changes won't be clear if different logos are in use at the same time and it won't be regular if different 'materials' need replacing as and when. Seems to me he really should have used the words 'confused and spasmodic'

Re: Lancashire's Tudor Rose
 

Well Lancashire County Council do have a habit of getting up most peoples Tudor:D:D
