The Symbolism of the
Southern Party Logo

     A number of people have inquired about the inspiration, authorship and symbolism of the Southern Party logo.  The logo was designed during the first week of June 1999.

     The shield in the design displays a stylized version of the Confederate States of America's 3rd National flag suspended vertically, thus representing the nationalist foundation of the Southern party and our vision of independence for Dixie.  The battle flag portion of the 3rd National occupies the area of the shield reserved for the canton of the flag - just as U.S. flag shield's fill the top with the blue field and white stars of the U.S. flag.   The remainder of the shield is filled in by the white and red sections of the 3rd National flag, just as on a U.S. shield this area would be filled by the red and white stripes of the U.S. flag.

     The silhouette of the Southland is superimposed on the flag to allow people to visualize the boundaries of the Southern nation.  This national outline includes the 16 States where the Southern Party is being organized:  Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
