T h e l o g o o f M i n i s t r y o f I d e a sThe logo derives from Democritus’ definition of the word idea. Democritus was a pre-Socratic Philosopher born in Abdera in the north of Greece ca. 460 BC. Democritus believed that everything was built from one and the same material and he used theword idea for these building blocks of the universe, these particles that are only different concerning shape and arrangement.

The logo is built from two symbols. A lightbulb, wich is commonly understood as the symbol for idea, according to my research and the atom wich is an Idea according to Democritos theory. The atomic symbol also has links to various fields of science and technology.

The rings around the lightbulb are symbolic for the different paths members of the Minstry of Ideas are on. Where these pathsintersect a great idea (the lightbulb) is pulled into existence. The blue particle is symbolic for the individual.

Ministry of Ideas is a nonprofit fellowship of creative individuals on various fields, for that reason the logo is light and colourful.

Co l o u r sThese are the logos CMYK values.

THE CONSTITUTION IS A COVENANT WHICH ENSURES SOVEREIGNTY AND INDEPENDENCE FOR ICELANDERS AND IS WRITTEN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY. THE ROLE OF THE CONSTITUTION IS TO GUARD THE ICELANDIC LANGUAGE, ITS CULTURE AND THE NATION’S RESOURCES. IT SHOULD BE INTRODUCED IN SCHOOLS AND IT MUST BE GUARANTEED THAT THE PUBLIC CAN HAVE A SAY IN DECISIONS REGARDING NATIONAL AFFAIRS. THE IMAGE OF ICELAND SHALL BE STRENGTHENED, MULTICULTURALISM ENCOURAGED AS WELL AS SEPARATION BETWEEN STATE AND RELIGION.

COUNTRY AND NATION

Values and related issues regarding the independence of the country, culture and its advantages such as vision, the value of the Icelandic language and the country’s rural areas.

THE CONSTITUTION SHALL BE BASED ON MORAL VALUES. THE MORALITY THEME OF THE NEW CONSTITUTION SHALL BE RESPECT FOR HUMANS, FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND CONSIDERATION. AN EMPHASIS SHALL BE ON THE HONESTY OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, PUBLIC OFFICIALS, LAWS AND LEGAL ETHICS. TO STRENGTHEN AND IMPROVE THE MORALITY OF THE NATION, ETHICS SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN THE COUNTRY’S SCHOOLS AND THE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PUBLIC MUST BE INCREASED. IN ICELAND A CLEAR FRAMEWORK MUST BE SET UP BY WHICH THE AUTHORITIES MUST WORK, FOCUSING ON RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTIES TOWARDS THE COUNTRY'S PEOPLE.

MORALITY

General moral values without special connec)on with government or poli)cs such as honesty, respect, responsibility, tolerance, jus)ce and sympathy.

EVERYONE SHALL ENJOY HUMAN RIGHTS ACCORDING TO INTERNATIONAL COVENANTS ON HUMAN RIGHTS THAT ICELAND HAS PROMISED TO HONOUR, SUCH AS FREEDOM OF SPEECH, PERSONAL PRIVACY, RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND THE RIGHT OF OWNERSHIP. EQUALITY SHALL BE GUARANTEED BY LAW REGARDLESS OF GENDER, RELIGION, NATIONALITY, RACE, RESIDENCE AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION. EVERYONE SHALL HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY FOR EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE AND MINIMUM ESSENTIALS OF LIVING. EACH VOTE SHALL HAVE EQUAL VALUE.

HUMAN RIGHTS

Values that are the basis or go hand in hand with accepted human rights such as equality, freedom of speech, educa)on, religious freedom and right of ownership.

ALL PERSONS IN THE COUNTRY SHALL BE ENSURED A DECENT LIVELIHOOD REGARDLESS OF GENDER, RACE, AGE, RESIDENCE, WORK, NATIONALITY, RELIGIOUS BELIEF, FINANCIAL SITUATION, HANDICAP, SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR OPINIONS. EVERYONE SHALL HAVE EQUAL RIGHT TO MINIMUM ESSENTIALS OF LIVING, EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICE. EVERYONE SHALL HAVE RIGHTS TO PENSION BENEFITS. THE VALUE OF VOTES SHALL BE EQUAL AND THE PENAL CODE CLEAR.


Values and related issues regarding general jus)ce, wellbeing and equality in rela)on to educa)on, health and essen)als of living etc.

THE NATURE AND THE COUNTRY’S NATURAL RESOURCES ARE UNASSIGNABLE PUBLIC PROPERTIES THAT MUST BE PROTECTED, USED AND UTILISED SUSTAINABLY IN SUCH A WAY THAT PUBLIC ACCESS IS ENSURED. CLEAR LAWS MUST BE ENACTED REGARDING THE NATION’S OWNERSHIP AND UTILISATION RIGHTS OF NATURAL RESOURCES, NATURE AND BIOSPHERE. ICELANDIC NATURE AND RESOURCES MUST BE PROTECTED TO THE BENEFIT OF FUTURE GENERATIONS.

THE NATURE OF ICELAND, CONSERVATION AND UTILISATION

Values and related issues regarding the environment, including natural resources, such as conserva)on of the environment and public property.

ICELAND’S DEMOCRACY SHALL BE ACTIVE AND TRANSPARENT. THE VALUE OF VOTES SHALL BE EQUAL IN ONE CONSTITUENCY, ELECTIONS OF INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES, LIMITED TIME OF MEMBERSHIP OF PARLIAMENT AND FEWER MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. THE DEMOCRACY SHALL BE BASED ON THE TRIPLE DIVISION OF POWER AND CLEAR LAWS ON REFERENDUM IN IMPORTANT ISSUES. THE APPOINTMENT OF JUDGES SHALL BE RECONSIDERED. ONLY VOTERS WITH EQUAL VOTING VALUE CAN AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.

DEMOCRACY

Values and related issues of any kind rela)ng to the na)on’s par)cipa)on in governing the country, such as referendum and vo)ng rights. Also values related to prerequisites for democracy, such as communica)on of informa)on.

THE TRIPLE DIVISION OF POWER MUST BE GUARANTEED WHERE THE ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUTHORITIES IS CLEAR. MINISTERS SHALL NOT SERVE AS MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT ALONG WITH THEIR MINISTRY POST. THE CONSTITUTION SHOULD GUARANTEE TRANSPARENCY AND SUPERVISION OF THE COUNTRY’S ADMINISTRATION. PROFESSIONAL METHODS SHALL BE USED WHEN RECRUITING PEOPLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATIONAL POSITIONS. THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT OF ICELAND SHALL BE RECONSIDERED AND A DECISION SHALL BE MADE REGARDING HIS VETO. THERE SHOULD BE A TIME LIMIT TO THE MEMBERSHIP OF PARLIAMENT. THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE COURTS SHALL BE GUARANTEED.


Values and related issues regarding general development of the state and the use of state authority such as division of power, transparency and stability. Also values (and related issues) regarding the work of individual ins)tu)ons and the holders of state authority and their responsibility.

ICELAND SHALL BE AN INDEPENDENT AND SOVEREIGN STATE WHICH EMPHASISES COOPERATION WITH OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN REGIONS. ICELAND SHALL BE AN ADVOCATE OF PEACE AND SHALL ENGAGE IN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION WITH THAT PURPOSE. THE SECURITY OF THE COUNTRY SHALL BE GUARANTEED. ICELAND SHALL PARTICIPATE IN COOPERATION IN PROTECTING NATURE, SELF-‐SUSTAINING USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES, PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEVELOPMENT AID. ICELAND SHALL BE WITHOUT AN ARMY AND FREE OF NUCLEAR ARMS.

PEACE AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

Values and related issues regarding Iceland’s posi)on in the interna)onal community, such as security, peace and impar)ality.
