Description
In 1961 the SPD introduced a new type of font for their flags, namely a more rectangular type of letters. This flag came in several varieties, described in a folder issued by the Public Relations department:
- A standard flag to be hoisted or attached to a staff for demonstrations usually in 3:5 proportions;
- A hanging flag in proportions 2:1 to 3:1;
- Several types of pennants for use by hikers, cyclists or on automobiles. However, these pennants did not gain much popularity, as Rabbow 1965 points out.
In all these flags the letters are white, only the Executive Committee was entitled to use a flag with yellow letters.
