This is the winning design in a competition for a logo to celebrate the half centeniary of the signing of the treat of Rome. It was designed by a Polish art student, who won £4,000 for his efforts.

"This logo gives a graphic interpretation to the voice of all Europeans, especially the new generations," says the competition website.

"These Europeans look for peace, stability and prosperity without taking anything away from their rights of individuality and diversity."

It adds: "The word 'together' expresses in a simple and immediate way what was originally bound to the idea of Europe: not only politics, or money, or geographic boundaries, but most of all co-operation and solidarity."

It also praises the irony "inspired by fashion labels".
