http://iota.cjb.net has a new look that I've designed for it. The main new feature is the incorporation of the flag of the Inmates of the Asylum:
(horizontal)
(verticle)
There are four verticle stripes representing the Four Eras/Ages: the Dark Axe Age, the Light Age of Reason, the Dark Wind Age, and the Light Wolf Age.
The stripes are broken by three horizontal bars with alternating black and white colors. This makes twelve rectangles, which is three by four. Three plus four is seven, a crucial number in Myth that Bungie put in (such as 7 x 7 = 49, the number of the shattered fragments of Wyrd's One Dream). The twelve bars also represent the original twelve members of the Inmates of the Asylum.
Here is the standard of the Inmates:
The wolves, I figured, were the best of the bestial icons that could be chosen for us. Connacht's wolf symbol seems to fit well, as Connacht was, arguably, the most important person in (Myth) history. In addition, the wolves are baying at the moon.
The half moon at the top relates to the fact that anything associated with the moon, like howling at it or the crazy-ish, Druidic cults that performed ceremonies under it, was considered insane. "Lunatic" is derived from the moon's name (via Latin): Luna.
I also designed a crest-like coat of arms:
Now we can get into the spirit of things even more with our symbols of insane patriotism…or is it patriotic insanity? :-)
