As an ex-art teacher

I have to say that I like the logo that Aurelio Murcia has chosen for his party. The black line representing the mountains coming down to the coastal plane with a rainbow above is very symbolic and meaningful. The mix of colours, typefaces and upper and lower case also gives the logo a modern youthful look. It works well as a background at the press conference he held and on the posters against the green background. I also like the fact that he has included a picture of the whole party on his posters which reminds us that it is more than one person that we are voting for.

Of course, we are not voting for posters and logos but for what each party represents. That is something we will find out when we receive the policies of each party in our letter boxes. I do hope they have got the translation into English right this time otherwise we will have to read the Spanish version to find out exactly what they mean!

PS In English, as in Spanish, there are many words with more than one meaning, if you get the wrong one, then the sentence does not immediately make sense.
