The spiral... the sacred circle. Stars, planets, galaxies, all are circular. Everywhere you look you see the sacred circle even if you don't recognize it. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01534540 Hm. Maybe this should be posted in the BLM thread. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Luminos Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) The "spiral" in the centre of the hand in the SL logo is supposed to represent an eye; I had always presumed it was derived from/inspired by the "hamsa hand" from traditional Hindu art: If you do a google image search for "hamsa hand" you can find many variations of this design; I picked this one because it's blue.

I think it is due to how things have a tendency to become a sphere after they amass certain amount of mass coupled with other formative factors, and form a spherical formation as extrapolated by orbital mechanics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing changed about the logo is the color. It changed from green to blue. Map of SL in 2003. Note the logo (click to enlarge).

I wonder why it seemed (still seems) so different to me -- maybe it was the effect of the changed contrast with the background that made me think it had been re-drawn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
