ABOUT THE SYMBOL OF THE WORLD CONGRESS
1. The artist Joma Sipe was "inspired" by MERLION The Merlion (Malay: Singa-Laut) is a well-known icon of Singapore depicted as a mythical creature with a lion's head and the body of a fish. It is widely used as a mascot and national personification of Singapore. The logo is not a replica of Merlion.
2. Two of our Founders, H. P. Blavatsky and H. S. Olcott were both Leos.
3. The lion logo shows strength, leadership, but also fairness thus portraying great majesty.
4. The colors used were adopted from an original 1886 book publication Theosophy, Religion and Occult Science by Henry Olcott. Coincidentally those colors link directly with Singapore and its Chinese background and history.
