I’ve begun to notice that the phrase itself dedication: doesn’t actually mean anything anymore. Anyway, we students are used to living without our organic beef, so I’m sure we’ll survive. Next time it’s raining though remember: it’s because of the credit crunch. to Emma Dodd I fully expect you to be reading this from the comfort of your cosy new hall / house.

Much love, peace out. 3 Freshers’ Issue 08 www.seren.bangor.ac.uk NEWS Students’ Union logo gets an overhaul his year sees the introduction of a new logo for our Students’ Union. After market research carried out before the summer Tbreak concluded that the ‘U’ logo was unpopular, it was clear a new design was needed. Seren spoke to Deputy President Spencer George and asked him what he thought the new logo could bring to the SU: “The new logo is one of a few communication tools at our disposal to help us deliver the message that we want to get across to students. The old logo was perceived by many as boring, bland and uninspiring. Instead we wanted a recognisable brand, one that students would immediately be able to identify as the students’ union logo. We also thought it was important that the logo represents democracy, equality and unity. We’ve worked on several designs over the last four months and after seeking student opinion, the ‘dragons’ tail’ option was by far and away the most popular choice.” He added, “We feel that the image is more powerful than the previous incarnation and we hope it will help us deliver a consistent message about why we exist, what we stand for and what we can provide for the students.” Companies and Organisations often re-brand to spruce up their image, which can become quickly outdated in a fast moving world. An old logo is the fashion equivalent to someone wearing platform boots today. Nevertheless, re-branding can be dangerous in the cut throat consumer world. Take a recent example of the ubiquitous social networking site Facebook. The company has launched a ‘new look layout’, yet there are already established groups opposing the changes. The group ‘One million against the new Facebook layout’ in fact has well over a million members. Yet there have been instances of successful new logos. The Conservative party scrapped it’s old torch logo in favour of a blue and green tree. Two years on and the party are in a far better position in the polls. Of course there may well have been other factors to explain their success, but that’s another story for another time... Here’s hoping then, that the new SU logo is the beginning of an exciting time for the union itself.

The study, funded by the Juve- nile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), has brought scientists closer to the development of a commercially viable ‘artifi cial pancreas’ system. Karen Addington, Chief Execu- tive of JDRF, hailed the study as “proof of principle that type 1 diabe- tes in children can be safely managed overnight with an artifi cial pancreas system”. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.
