OMG! Graf! You're a genius!

Well done graflok !!

I was interested in the logo of the group Opel, mark German, and I found on the history of the logos some interesting images.

Maybe we could create a Logo topic, I didn't find it on the forum, but maybe I miss it :D

[tinmenace]

I think YOU should create a logo thread. It's a great idea!

[pierre_jean]

Maybe it's more simple to rename this one :confused:

This shape is known as the Vesica Piscis or the Mandorla. This symbology site (http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/44/4411.html) has interesting info about it. It's used A LOT in symbolism.

A lot in Christian or religious symbolism

Also the Virginia Company's original seal, they still own America under their new corporate name - United States of America

Let's not forget the Christian symbol of the fish

Even the Eye of Horus is a Vesica Piscis as seen horizontally

This symbol rather makes me think of a vagina:D
But maybe it is the case !!

[lumukanda]

it's also known as a Ru, which symbolizes the vagina.

[tinmenace]

Yes! The Mandorla is a vaginal symbol! Exaclty.

Maybe it's more simple to rename this one :confused:

Even if it were possible, we couldn't do that because it's not our thread :o

[lumukanda]

i think a thread with the aim of showing what ancient symbolism are used in logos today is a great idea.

[tinmenace]

You wanna start it for us? I'm so buried with working on posts for other threads...:o

[lumukanda]

not tonight, but tomorrow during the day i should have some time. i'll get it going then, or if someone else wants to, go right ahead.
