Move Forward, the progressive party that was dissolved by the Constitutional Court this week despite winning last year’s election, has been relaunched as the People’s Party with a new leader, Nattapong Ruangpanyawut. (Former leaders Pita Limjaroenrat and Chaithawat Tulathon were barred from politics for ten years following the party’s dissolution.)
The new party logo uses a simple graphic design to make a bold ideological statement. An inverted pyramid represents a reversal of Thailand’s top-down social hierarchy. The pyramid’s three lines symbolise the French revolutionary slogan ‘liberty, equality, fraternity’, perhaps an implicit counterpoint to Thailand’s traditional tripartite motto ‘nation, religion, king’.
