http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/3704596.stm What do you think of the new G8 logo?
The new logo unveiled for the planned G8 Gleneagles summit next summer has been described as a thistle with a "modern twist".
The Scottish Executive believes the design - which cost £40,000 - has captured traditional and contemporary images of the country. The summit at the Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire in July 2005 will be the main event of the UK's presidency.
But is the logo an adequate reflection of the UK's role? Do you agree it reflects Scotland's traditional and contemporary image? Has it been worth the money?
