Symbolism has been chosen as a correct style of political parties passing distribution information about their activities, characters and approaches. The People’s National Party symbols have been long used by organizers to pull together more supporters.

            The head has been chosen to show brilliance, strength and strong leadership. It was also used to deal with illiteracy of voters at the time of the early advancement of the Party. Once the head is seen as a Party symbol it would begin to tell the story to supporters that they are associating with people of good brains.

The star was the original sign which was thought about as important to voters accepting as a symbol but the head won out among the leaders and the majority of comrades.

            The JLP decided to choose the “bell” as its symbol in 1962, moving away from the “star” while the PNP keep to its “head” for the 1944 general election.

            The color “red” was also chosen that associated with the Party to make sure that it was well known that the PNP was left-wing in its focus and association with the “red flag” of the Left. This left-wing link was to be differentiated from the communist Left of the USSR. The PNP’s Left was more democratic socialist in ideas, style and focus, making sure it was embracing the social character of democracy.

            In this respect, there was no disagreement with capitalists or capitalism under the PNP but at the same time there was every recognition of the working class and its importance to free market ideology.

            The principal Party song, Jamaica Arise, was written by William Sieveright as a National Anthem for Jamaica. This song was used when the country was led under the umbrella of one Party. The Party lost the 1962 general elections and the new government commissioned Eternal Father as the national anthem instead. Jamaica Arise then became the PNP's anthem.

The name, People’s National Party, was also chosen to bring greater importance to the people and to ensure that there was every honour and respect to be “national”

            “Comrade” was chosen as a symbol of democracy, emerging from Socialist International, an association which united the supporters of left-wing principles and styles globally.
