STF (Süd-Tiroler Freiheit = South Tyrolean Freedom)
The STF is a 
separatist party of the German-speaking people in South Tyrol, founded in 2007 
as a split from the UfS (Union für Südtirol). The party wants the reunification 
of South Tyrol with the Austrian part of Tyrol. It holds 2 seats in the 
provincial parliament (Landtag).
The symbol is a circular arrangement of 
the Austrian national flag, together with the party name and URL. The flag is 
the Austrian national flag (red-white-red) with the party symbol in the lower 
fly, and the main slogan spread over the three stripes: "Süd-Tirol ist nicht 
Italien!" (South Tyrol is not Italy!) [1,2,3,4]. A controversial billboard 
campaign in 2007/2008 showed exactly this design, for instance on the (Austrian 
side of the) Brenner border.
