About Our Conservative Party Seal. ®
History tells us that from its beginning man caused some type of marking to be identified with himself, his tribe or clan. It may have been markings in prehistoric cave dwellings, an image on battle shields, arrow feather markings, or stones on the ground, something. From that start came the concept of the “Seal.” indicating one’s importance.
The importance attached to a seal may be used to authenticate a signature on documents, as varied as from that of a Notary Public’s seal to that of royalty. A seal may be the representation of an office, such as that of the President of the United States, a religious official, or a state government. It may be used to ratify or “seal” legal and judicial documents.
An early form of the seal was the signature mark followed by the letters, L.S. There are two generally accepted meanings of the use of L.S. One is the abbreviation for the Latinism “legi scripto” which means read my signature for the seal, and the other is “locus sigilli“, meaning the place reserved for the signatory’s unique seal. This unique seal was often pressed into melted wax dripped upon the document. In summary, seals grew to be used in connection with extremely important actions. It was in this tradition that in 1776, the Continental Congress authorized a committee to create a national seal for the new country.
Seals are not by definition, logos, although they may grow into such use. A logo is considered a “fanciful” image that appeals to one’s senses. As fancies change, logos are often changed. A logo color in use at one time may grow in disfavor in the future and would be changed. A seal is a heraldic image. Every element has a special meaning and thus unchangeable because to change one element would be to “break the seal.”
The mission of the Conservative Party USA is to be guided by the leadership of the Founding Fathers, so it sought to also duplicate their leadership by creating a Great Seal of the Conservative Party of the United States of America. The party seal is to attach to any and all matters which the Conservative Party USA considers of the highest and greatest concerns. These are the heraldic elements of its party seal.
