WHEAT SHEAF LOGO TO BE RETAINED

Released on December 17, 2007

New Saskatchewan Party Government Listens to Public

Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz today announced that the government has decided not to replace the government's wheat sheaf logo at this time.

Last week, Krawetz indicated the government was considering a process to update the 30 year old logo.

"This idea generated a lot of feedback and discussion throughout the province," Krawetz said. "Some people like the idea. Some, however, do not."

"The updating of the sheaf was never going to be a priority of the new Saskatchewan Party government. But, to the extent that there was a public perception that modernizing the wheat sheaf was going to be a distraction from our priorities, we are setting the record straight."

Krawetz said for those who oppose changing, it's really not a matter of whether or not they like the wheat sheaf logo. It was a question of priorities.

Krawetz added that while there is always a cost to re-organizing the government after a change of government, the goal will be to keep that cost to a minimum.
