because I have been asked about it I thought a new topic would be nice to tell what it means

Ok the Colors, I chose Green Black and Yellow,
Green for Life
Black for Death
Yellow for that reward which waits beyond for you.

the Misshapen Checkerboard
the Checks if you will notice are not even but wave with some being big ond some small, this is because we are all different, no two precisely alike but if we all work together something pleasing to the eye is made.
the border of White and Black are there to give form to the Checkers.

The Green blocks, signify support from many sides, which without support even a pretty house will fall.

The Wheat, Pleanty, with sufficient sustinance even the lowliest of beasts can be great

the Star as the north star guides sailors to their port, the East star guides RPers to our shores

the Square as a Mason a man is taught to always treat everyone on the square, this is where phrases such as Square talk and Square it away ect come from, I figured being Square with everyone was a good idea so I incorporated it.

the Compass, Because it is such a useful tool, there is so much you can do with it, you can measure, calculate distance on a map, draw a circle, it represents the forum itself the place where all things can be done if you have the tool.

What stripe?
Thanks.

I'm impressed. You put a lot of thought into the colors, the design, ... all of the choices. I didn't know a lot of others had asked. I passed on a question that had been asked of me.

I never asked, but I did wonder about it. I assumed it was Masonic, mainly for the compass / square combination. A lot of symbolism, though - didn't even notice the waves in the checkerboard before :fish:

Wait,what?
In all honesty..the TEP crest..it reminds me of the old flag of the DDR (East Germany): Although i wasnt to old at the time (i turned 12 in 1989) that still brings back some memories of earlier unhappy times :/
-Happily- those times are long gone now :)

(heres a link to East germany wiki entry,so you can see what i mean:)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Germany
(the DDR coat of arms is on the right side of the page)

Loop: very good explanation of the crest: im impressed at the level of thought put into it.very nice :)
