SDLP Youth is launching its new logo at Queen’s University Freshers’ Fair. The unveiling of the logo, which depicts a rose and a star, coincides with an upturn in activity by the group.
SDLP Youth Chairman Gary McKeown said: “We are launching our new logo as we refocus on our core principles and concentrate on the issues that matter to young people across the north.
“Since 1970, the SDLP has been at the forefront of promoting equality, democracy and social justice. SDLP Youth is determined to continue this fight. We also want to celebrate our global links with Socialist International and the Party of European Socialists.”
“Our new logo reflects SDLP Youth’s strong social democratic outlook as we move forward.”

Isn't that what being a student is all about, though? Plenty of time to build up your socialist self-identity before you move on to Stormont and Westminster and get down to a proper job in free-market capitalism.
Any real socialists in the SDLP? Quit. Trust me, you'll be happier...
What do I see in that logo of SDLP Youth? It looks like a small head of cabbage held in the fist, with a single star shining gloriously in the sky.
So what does it symbolise then? I'll take a guess - The Star-Spangled Cabbage is in Somebody's Firm Grip.
Any alternative interpretations on a postcard please.
SDLP youth pretending to be socialist wont make them any more vibrant or active will it??
Visually unenticing to say th least - looks too much like T. Blair's red rose of 'New Labour UK'. Still, do yr bit SDLP & support the people.
On the other hand, if it is an overgrown rose and not a small head of cabbage, with a star against a red background and a muscular hand grasping the rose, maybe here is a different interpretation:
A robust Rose of Tralee is embarrassed to be in the grip of a hopeful bachelor farmer.
when its going to merge with FF in the 6 counties??
Labour may start organising there- both the UK and Rep of Ireland Kinds.
