At an extraordinary Congress held on 19 October, the Communist Party of Sweden (SKP) decided to replace its logo with a new one that depicts the sickle and hammer. A statement published in "Riktpunkt" reads:
Since the Communist Party in Sweden was re-established in 1977, our party has used a logo consisting of gears, wheat ears and our initials. The colors have consisted of the red color of socialism and the blue-yellow Swedish colors.
