MEDesigns: Navigational Sextant - This logo of a navigational sextant depicts the idea of travel and exploration. The blue circle symbolizes the Earth, as the majority of our planet is water. It's clean, simple design is easily recognizable and can be scaled down considerably while maintaining it's quality. The colors were chosen for several reasons - 1) Primary colors being easy to detect by the human eye. 2) The red and blue also ties into the nautical theme in which the sailors used these sextants which in turn relates to 'voyage' in Wikivoyage. 3) These colors would also work when converted to gray-scale or be viewed by someone that is colorblind., Sextant Logo2 dark.jpg

Sorry but it seems a masonic logo :-P --Andyrom75 (talk) 06:41, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

There is no sextant on a masonic logo, they use a divider and square. · · · Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 07:30, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I haven't said that is equal, I've said that it recalls that symbol at the first glance. ...well, also at the second glance :-D --Andyrom75 (talk) 13:52, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
