The Global Beliefs and Values Logo

Version 1.10 June 2017                                 Previous Version

 

Firstly, our logo shows six knowledge domains: four main areas of knowledge: philosophy, science, history and religion – underlying two areas of action – the personal and political. 

The seventh knowledge domain is culture (art, music, literature and so on – including technology and the media).  This is shown as an indistinct figure that infuses all the other areas, drawing on them for insight, pulling them together:

●    the right hand taking a theoretical analysis from Philosophy

– associated most with our core values of Truth;

●    the left hand, reaching for expression, from only the best aspects of Religion

– associated (as is the best of culture) with our core value of Beauty;

●    feet grounded in the practical analysis of Science and History

– supported by our core values of Reality, Diversity, Life and Love;

●    head enmeshed in Personal and Political action – but also above it in some way

– based on our core values of Equality and Responsibility.

Our Culture – a globally aware culture that takes from all knowledge domains – is a central component of our identity.  We see in an apparent order: a direction – upwards, progress, goals, reflecting our final core value of Hope that personal and political action is worthwhile.

The whole image represents our Global Vision, integrating knowledge and action, into

a Reasonable Global Way.

 

In due course, after we have done further work clarifying some more details of this Way, we can consider looking at different symbols to reflect other aspects of this Way.  more (later)
