Festival Year For Souvenirs
Next year the year of
the Festival of Britain 1951 - is likely to set now fashions in souvenirs.
As the emphasis on all ex- hibits at the Festival of Britain's exhibitiona will be on quality,
so also it is expected that the souvenirs to be sold will bo themselves examples of the best design and manufacture.
To achlove this standard, manufacturers are being asked lo submit their ideas for sou- venirs to the Council of In- dustrie) Design, which has sit up a committee to scrufinisa the designs. Those passing the text will receive a "certificato of acceptance.”
For their guidance, souvenirs are defined as "any portable article commemorative of the
Festival." This covers a wido range of products, from the traditional type of souvenir such a. bijou Jowellery or omamente for the mantelstelf to toys and games, follet articles, amall leather goods, dress accessories, household articles and so on. Many will be useful as well as decorative.
SYMBOL
Dealgners may choose their own way of linking their pro- duct with the Festival, Articles may simply bear the date "1931" or the words "Festival of Dri- tain Souvenir" об
or “Edinburgh inburgh ID51" or they may incorporate
a motif the Festival Symbol Britannia's head on the points
of the compass. Or. If the ar ticle is not easily capable of be ing marked in this way, the Louvenir symbol may be put on the container or package, it these are of a Permanent or semi-permanent nature.
