Talk:1968 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election

Was this actually the logo at the time of the convention? thumb|center|600px
This picture of the podium (above) suggests the logo was a sectioned red maple leaf. I believe the "L" logo was used throughout the 1970s and into the early 1980s (but abandoned once Turner became leader) and it may have been used during the 1968 election but I don't think it was in use as early as the 1968 convention. Do we have any evidence that it was? Homey 22:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You may be correct, I must admit I am not 100% sure. I added it so that someone who may know better can bring up the issue and we can get a proper logo if need be. -- Earl Andrew - talk 22:20, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

text: I went digging through the party materials stored up in my university library, and managed to deduce that the 5 x 2 sectioned leaf design on that podium was in use on party documents, on letterhead, and so on, from at least 1968 until 1986 (solid red, white trim).  Sometime between 1986 and the 1988 election things switched to a different sectioned leaf design, with a leaf-within-a-leaf layout where the inner leaf is unified and the outer leaf is split into 12 sections (representing the fed gov't, and then the provinces and territories?).  The Chretien-era |||*L logo made its first chronological appearance on the copy of the 1993 Red Book that was shelved there.  I'd caution, though, that there was a pretty sporadic selection of documents, and a lot of stuff from the seventies was clearly produced by typewriter and graphics were far beyond standard repro capabilities.  No examples of the above leaf within the-arms-of-the-L logo that I could spot. The Tom 00:58, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I know the L logo was used for something. I recall seeing a "Che" style Trudeau shirt that someone was wearing a year ago at school. I've also seen it on the net in pin galleries. -- Earl Andrew - talk 03:07, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The "Cube-Leaf" logo was used during the Trudeau era, but not in 1968.  I would think that the logo above in the picture was used until at least 1990...the CBC archives of Martin's riding nomination in 1988 have a modified party logo with the "Cube L" and the special leaf instead of the "Standard" maple leaf.  I know, though, that the Cube-leaf logo was very downplayed when Turner took over...however, it was still the party's main identifier in Editoral cartoons for over a decade afterward.Habsfan|t 00:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
