CCHQ downgrades oak tree logo

Has everyone noticed how the Now For Change Union Jack logo seems to be muscling out the tree logo?

The tree logo is still there but on election literature, conservatives.com and in placards it's the union flag image that is now most prominent.

Both Tory symbols have been strongly influenced by ConservativeHome.  Readers to this site suggested the Oak Tree as a party logo before the party unveiled its scribbled tree.  And I was recently told that the new image was inspired by something seen on this website.

I like the Union Flag image very much.  It fits in with the patriotism theme that David Cameron addressed yesterday and which Donata Huggins takes forward this morning.
