Czech government unveils EU presidency logo

The Czech government unveiled the logo for its upcoming EU presidency on Wednesday, in the second phase of its pre-presidential information campaign. The logo reads, in simple block-coloured writing, EU2009.cz – the internet address for the official website of the Czech presidency. The logo takes over from the government’s first advertising campaign to publicise the presidency, which courted controversy at home and abroad. The first advert centred upon a sugar-cube - said to be a Czech invention - and featured an ambivalent slogan meaning in one reading ‘we’ll give Europe a taste of its own medicine’.
