The topic of a symbol for the Jedi can stir up a mixed response. This symbol was created a couple of years ago by Relan Volkum for the site JEDI. JEDI was the first site that Xhaiden participated at so this symbol has always been in the back of his mind as having some real meaning. With the rework of this website and forum he decided to put this symbol to use for the symbol of the Jedi. He wanted a symbol that is simple, clean, and has meaning to it and the symbol found throughout this site fits into that template. Jediism is just one part of the Jedi community as is Jedi realism (Christian Jedi and many of the other beliefs). The symbol represents the one unifying factor of all of us, we are Jedi. Below you will find the original meaning of the symbol written by Relan Volkum.


Quote from: Relan Voklum
The green stands for "wisdom," the red "will of action," and the blue "knowledge." With these three combined, the yellow "truth and enlightenment" will be given to you through the Force. The Aurabesh words mean A-Z, or the Beginning and End, which is all that is all in terms of the Force.

The white lines represent purity. If one doesn't remain pure and open with these qualities, the Force will not work through you and will ignore you as you ignore its qualities. Outside is the color gray, standing for those who believe to be part of the Force, yet remains portioned to the outside, which is black/white/whatever color you want the background to be, doesn't matter, i.e. the separation of the Force and you...call it death, despair, whatever.

This is what I believed the path of the Jedi was. That is why I created the symbol.

Just as a note Relan created it for the United Jedi Council, which ultimately became the Jedi United and was most used with that project (until the JU/JO split in 2001). The Jedi Orgainzation (a result of that split) actually saw the update of their symbol which was than used for the more known JEDI. The symbol can see seen below as it was/is used with JEDI.
I always considered it a mixture between teh Tri-Force and AOL. =) But that is just me. I definitely like the symbol used here more. And it was created with the idea of Unity, so that is cool too.

I like the reasoning behind the symbol used by TJW, but my favourite is this one (I don't know who originally created this, but this copy of it is licenced under a CCL  Grin)
