No loggerheads for society

Shrewsbury Civic Society logo

 While loggerheads are ubiquitous in Shrewsbury, they are not universally applied to every town organisation - perhaps surprisingly.

For instance, the Shrewsbury Civic Society's logo does not feature the loggerheads - though it does give a geographical map of the town-scape (Shrewsbury lies within the River Severn which loops around the town).

Does anyone know why the Civic Society decided against the loggerheads?  

Please let us have your thoughts... Use the comments field just down this page.
