Well, well, well......this particular crypto currency is for those who want to remain anonymous on the "dark web." I for one, am thankful to not have spent any time there as far as I know. Gross, sad, and disgusting.

Let's just pause at this logo, shall we? I just ran a search (for now, Duck Duck Go is my search engine of choice) and found this gem. Never heard of it and yet very telling just by the logo itself. What does it say to you?


My first intuition was to look up the symbol for fire which is a triangle:

The triangle is also the symbol for the male principle and conversely the female is the inversion of the triangle. Again, I go to my intuition and look up the symbol for water and I get this:

The inverted triangle is also the alchemical symbol for water. Of course, this logo does not have a water symbol in it but I thought it was fascinating info none the less. Let's proceed, shall we?

Saying Volumes with Color and Design

The logo at the beginning of this essay looks almost as if I am looking up a mountain from the valley (that was my first impression). Strong. Stable.

My next glance was the triangle image and the colors used. Then I notice the circle but the first image wasn't a complete circle so I found another that has the full circle but is much smaller in stature and feel.

Anyone who watches any sort of media these days should know that a circle is used to cast spells. I am no conjurer but as I understand it, the witch or sorcerer stands in this circle for protection. The circle is also a place where pentagrams are placed among other ancient sigils to bring about demons (and maybe keep them captive ~ luckily I do not know this detail).

For arguments sake, could we maybe say that even a few of these logos might be "casting a spell" to make their business powerful or at least more noticeable among the masses? Something to seriously consider.


logos
noun
(often initial capital letter) Philosophy. the rational principle that governs and develops the universe.
Theology. the divine word or reason incarnate in Jesus Christ. John 1:1–14.

While I am not happy with this definition, I will explain in another essay. In the Bible, which I am reading right now, the Word brought everything into being. God is the Word. Logos has been used to represent the Biblical "Word of God." See where I am going with this? Make the word logo plural and you have logos, the Word.

Okay, okay. Let's just get back to this one logo. We can look at the colors now. Black. White. Gray.


Here's a great link to an article on color theory, if you are interested in the details: link

When I see black and white I think duality. Good vs. evil. Dark and light. Many ancient mysteries have ceremonies where the initiate is brought from the dark to the light; from the common and profane to the illuminated few. And as you can see from the photo, the free mason's love their checkerboard floor. (The also have a lovely pentagram in a circle, as well. How nice.)

The Masons Love Their Symbology

I couldn't find anything immediately on what looks like the 'equal sign' inside the triangle. I will have to ponder that and see if anything comes to mind later.


Thanks for stopping by and reading my essay. One should understand that there are mysteries all around us and some we may never know. Just being aware that symbols can effect us on a subconscious level removes some of their influences on us.

God bless and be well.
