My countrie´s conservative/christian democratic/patriotic/libertarian/liberal party is sometimes refered to as the falcon party. Its name is the Independence Party (Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn), and campaigns for Icelands and individual independence, the biggest party in the land and has been in government for the last one and a half decade or so. It uses the Icelandic falcon wich used to be depicted on our national shield. I am going to post pictures of our symbols (the current symbol - the youth movement - the old falcon - the old icelandic home rule shield (two versions)):





Does this party have a logo?

Interesting...I’d have never considered the Icelandic connection. Tnanks for that tidbit from that frigid island.

What The FALCON Party needs is Kris Kobach to write their Immigration Statement as he did Fred’s.

That is really cool. As a fourth generation Icelander, born in Canada, naturalized US citizen, I think that is great!!

I seem to remember doing a wood carving for a craft project once. I had found an old viking symbol of a bird, I thought it was an eagle, that the vikings used in the old days. Could it have been a falcon instead?
