Why do we need a logo?
Do we really want a corporate identity?
Are we actually a collective in any meaningful sense?
What do we agree on which is not trivially superficial?
Isn't the fish a Christian symbol?
Do we want to reinforce nationalism?
Why would we want to be seen as sponsors of the Lisbon meeting, especially without actually playing any sponsorship role (especially intellectually) or knowing what it will accomplish for whom?
Given the distribution of wealth and power, does 'international community psychology' mean anything other in practice than United Statesian Community Psychology?   
Is predatory behaviour OK after all as long as we are the predator rather than the prey?
Isn't the image as representative of a lynch mob as it is of any thing else?
 
No thanks!

Sorry for asking as a relative new comer. Why would this predatory, animal, presumably under water, image be symbolic of uk community psychology?

Dear all,
 
A while ago there was the suggestion that the 'swimming with the fishes' logo be adopted for CPUK (logo attached). I have fiddled with it a little - added our name as a strap line and placed it on a button so it can be placed on non-white websites. Unless enough people object by the end of this week, I will send this to the organisers of the 2008 International Conference on Community Psychology in Lisbon. The organisers would include our logo on their website and CPUK will be cited as a co-sponsor of the event (don't worry, it is intellectual rather than financial sponsorship).
