With all due respect and following this discussion, which seems to have elicited much comment, I think a more appropriate logo would consist of many small fish swimming in different directions, creating an unrecognisable shape: therefore better representing community psychology in the UK.

Ken Sprague was Marcia Karp's partner. Some of you may, like me, have been down to their place for psychodrama and great food/walks near Barnstaple. I have a couple of Ken's original make-ups for Daily Mirror cartoons he did way back. I'm sure the psychodramatic weekends made people more inclined to buy his art, if only as a keepsake. He is, indeed, sadly missed but lives on through his work.As for logos - the best thing to do is carry on arguing. Perhaps, as the symbolism is - as always - interpretable in numerous ways, we should add a few pages of text explaining what each element stands for....Craig___________________________________ COMMUNITYPSYCHUK - The discussion list for community psychology in the UK.

He contributed the logo for the UK community psych conference that year ( I had presumed that he designed it specially for us; you may remember we had T shirts using it) , and I am crossing my fingers that there is no copyright. Knowing his politics my guess is that he would be pleased at the use to which we are putting his design.
See obituary from the Guardian on http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/2004/aug/06/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries1
Also there is a book about his work: see http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~jimella/sprague/book.htm
Also an article, which also features this design – which makes me wonder if it's been used elsewhere, on http://www.catalystmedia.org.uk/issues/nerve8/ken_sprague.htm

Subject: Lisbon and CPUK Logo
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).
