The congress decided that the official colours of Cosatu would be red, black and yellow and
delegates also debated Cosatu's official logo. A number of designs had been done beforehand -
and two were the most popular. The one was a red star rising over a map of Africa and the other
depicted three workers marching alongside a wheel. This design proved to be the popular choice.
Objections to it on the basis of it showing three males were dealt with when it was amended to
include a woman worker with a baby strapped to her back.
