this Twitter article, the Syrian Revolutionaries Front logo is based on the
Mujahideen Shura Council logo
as "inspiration" to create their own logo, but with different
elements:
The
Muhahideen Shura Council uses the "black standard" (see
also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Standard), while the Syrian
Revolutionaries Front use a white background flag, plus the Free Syria
flag.
"The Syria Revolutionaries Front (Arabic: جبهة ثوار سوريا, Jabhat
Thowar Suriyya, SRF, also translated Syrian Rebel Front) is an
alliance formed in December 2013 by Free Syrian Army (FSA) brigades as
a response to the merger of Islamist Syrian Rebels into the
Islamic Front.
The formed alliance includes secular brigades, including:
-
Idlib Military Council
