Union Of Social Democrats
Union of Social Democrats (USD; russian: Союз социал-демократов; ССД; ''Soyuz sotsial-demokratov'', ''SSD'') was an all-Russian non-governmental organization founded on 20 October 2007 by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. The party had its roots in the former Social Democratic Party of Russia, which lost its official status in April 2007 due to low party membership. The Union of Social Democrats skipped the 2007 general election, in order to concentrate on its ultimate goal: to become a mass political party by 2011. In September 2008, Gorbachev announced the formation of the Independent Democratic Party of Russia, although the plans later fell through.

Logo Of The Union Of Social Democrats
A logo (abbreviation of logotype; ) is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or include the text of the name it represents as in a wordmark. In the days of hot metal typesetting, a logotype was one word cast as a single piece of type (e.g. "The" in ATF Garamond), as opposed to a ligature, which is two or more letters joined, but not forming a word. By extension, the term was also used for a uniquely set and arranged typeface or colophon. At the level of mass communication and in common usage, a company's logo is today often synonymous with its trademark or brand.Wheeler, Alina. ''Designing Brand Identity'' © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
