I was curious as to what the Cassiopedia Logo represents and why it was selected? Can somebody enlighten me please? The closest I can find on the web is a Japanese character for a squiggle. It also looks somewhat like some versions of a celtic triqueta and also of a Yin Yan symbol expanded to 3 elements.
 
Bear in mind that a Logo is the symbolic representative of a particular group/company/organization and a good logo should be able to symbolically convey what the organization is about, just by looking at it. With that in mind, what do you think the Cassiopedia logo represents?

I think you are going in the right direction when you say "looks somewhat like some versions of a celtic triqueta and also of a Yin Yan symbol expanded to 3 elements"

Errr, this crop circle appeared yesterday : http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2007/greenstreet/greenstreet2007.html

Are the C's are trying to explain the meaning of the Cassiopedia logo as well?? Weird.

Thanks for the link. What timing, considering the post here on the subject!

I've looked at that crop circle in the link, and it looked very much like a Triskele, a celtic symbol of sun or afterlife:

Yes, thats also basically where the idea for the Cassiopedia symbol came from. The really unusual thing about the crop circle is if you rotate the three yin elements about 90 degrees or so in photoshop, so that they slide into the sharks fin shapes around the outside, it forms the Cassiopedia logo! Its really weird that it appeared (or at least was reported) on the same day this thread opened.
 
it is a bit weird! maybe they're showing their appreciation of a well-chosen design :)
and then saying... "but you could have done it like this" !
 
I'm sorry to revive such an old thread, but I was looking for the original Cassiopedia logo, and I can't find it anywhere. (None of the sources referring to it here work anymore either...:() The current layout doesn't include the logo as such, and I wondered if there was some way I could find it again. Hopefully someone still has it lying around somewhere? Much obliged! :)
 
Hi Cesar,

No need to apologise. If I'm not mistaken the logo still appears in the header of the main page of cassiopedia (look top right). Would this not satisfy you, then try this link: _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskelion where you have plenty of choices...

Hope this helps.
 
Hi Palinurus. If I remember correctly, the triskelion at the top right is not the original logo. I remember it being more similar to the crop circle at the top center, a bit more complex than just a Triskelion. I'm sure it's that's one people were discussing in this thread. You can find it here:

_http://www.ditrianum.org/english/articles/CropCircles/a2007/0037.htm
 
OK then. Two more suggestions: firstly, look here _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triquetra if that's the one you remember. Secondly, try to search the history of the main page (top left under 'Views' #4) in order to find out if it's in there somewhere. That's all I can come up with...
 
I finally managed to come up with a B&W mockup of what I remember about the logo, based on some of the descriptions previously posted here. The triquetra pattern is only the starting point to placing the yin yang-like elements of the logo correctly. I had to find the correct rotation for each element, and then superimpose certain sections of the design until it looked familiar. The original logo obviously had colors, but I don't remember how. So, this is the best I came up with.

​

Unfortunately Cassiopedia's wiki history only archives text changes while keeping the layout as it is today. I've also looked over all the image files in that site, and it's not there. So the only way to know that this is indeed reminiscent of the logo is if someone confirmed this from memory or by providing the original image if someone had it.
 
Are you thinking of the one in the upper right hand corner of this page? http://www.cassiopedia.org/glossary/Main_Page - there were a few variations of it.
 
Erm, again, as I told Palinurus, it is most likely not the logo on the upper right but rather a logo similar to the crop circle at the top center. I remember it being predominantly white. Maybe it could be a variation of the top right logo, but given the previous discussion about the logo from years ago in this thread, it seems unlikely.
