==Logo== [[File:Parti Québécois (political party) logo.jpg|thumb|right|125px|Logo of the party from 1985 to 2007]] [[File:Parti Québécois logo vector.svg|thumb|right|125px|Logo of the party from 2007 to 2021]] The party's distinctive logo was designed in 1968 by painter and poet [[Roland Giguère]]. It consists of a stylised letter Q, represented by a blue circle broken by a red arrow. The creator meant it as an [[allegory]] of the Parti Québécois breaking the circle of [[colonialism]] which he claimed Canada was imposing on Quebec and opening Quebec upon the world and the future.<ref name="logo">{{cite news | url=http://archives.radio-canada.ca/IDC-0-17-1123-6138/politique_economie/parti_quebecois_levesque/clip4 | title=Archives de Radio-Canada: Fondation du Parti québécois | access-date=9 May 2007 | date=8 May 2007 | archive-date=12 February 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080212025030/http://archives.radio-canada.ca/IDC-0-17-1123-6138/politique_economie/parti_quebecois_levesque/clip4 }}</ref> The PQ has made very few significant modifications to its logo during its history. In 1985 it made the circle and arrow slightly thicker, and placed the tip of the latter at the centre of the circle. The original saw it span the whole diameter. When placed upon a blue background instead of a white one, the circle was commonly turned to white, the single main design variation currently observed. The party revealed a new logo on 21 February 2007, at the beginning of the 2007 provincial election campaign. While maintaining the basic style of past logos, the Q was redesigned and modernized. In addition, the tail of the Q was recoloured green. This logo was replaced in 2021 with a new logo that incorporated the [[fleur-de-lis]] into the letter "[[Q]]".<ref>{{cite news |title=Voici le nouveau logo du Parti Québécois |url=https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2021/12/04/voici-le-nouveau-logo-du-parti-quebecois-1 |access-date=1 January 2022 |work=Le Journal de Montréal |date=4 December 2021}}</ref> {{Clear}}
