Farewell old friend
Take in the Leeds Atheist Society logo above as it may be the last chance we see it. After three good years of service and exposure to thousands of students over that period, it is nearing retirement. This is due to the new committee looking to move the society in a new direction.
I have always hada softspot for this logo. It may be simple design but for a lot of Leeds students, past and present, it has come to represent the very values that the society has stood for over the years. The colours representing the dawn of enlightenment, the application of reason to improtnat questions, the use of open debate to draw to rational conclusions and not least of all embodying the bright futures many of our alumni have gone on to. The tree itself representing the tree of knowledge, the foundation of the society based on strong roots in philosophy, science and art. The branches representing the many groups of atheists or agnostic people that make up the society.
I will be sad to see it go but hopefully the new committee will devleop an idea even stronger and bolder and this will help forge a new era for the society.
