What
is the first thing you see when you look at the logo?
Depending on what level you bring to the front of your perspective, you
will see the white area, the black area or the silver "S" with
the square bordering. Try to switch between these levels or even see all
three at once. What do the different levels mean? We will take a short excursion
into symbolism, whereby all comments should be seen in a cultural and personal
context.

Symbolon
was originally a clay ring that was broken in two as a sign of friendship
from the host. The guest then took one part on his journey and gave it on
to another friend. When he then came to the host and the pieces fit together,
it was a sign of trust and loyalty. In this way Symbolon recognized and
accepted something new from the legitimate background of something we are
already familiar with.
The word "symbol" derived from this
is a sign or image that stands for something that cannot be seen. Symbols
have to be regarded as specifically human expressions, as an attempt to
express life knowledge over many generations as well as unifying concrete
outer experiences (with the environment) with inner experiences (thoughts,
feelings). Symbol development and use therefore simultaneously characterize
the tense and oppositional conflict that mankind not only has with nature
but also with itself. According to C.G. Jung symbols have their origin
in the collective super-personal consciousness. They represent basic-
and key words of humanity.
