We were told that we were violating a registered trade mark with our version of Jon Anderson’s Olias symbol, so we have happily chosen to remove it from our website. And since Steven collects rubber duckies, he thought that he would use them on his website instead of his version of the Olias symbol. The organization that brought it to our attention that we were in violation of trademark law can be found at this site: goldenrosycross.org. They seem like a pretty cool organization.

Were we in violation? Perhaps. Regardless, we’re just not going to use it anymore on this site. There! That was easy! Besides, aren’t rubber duckies fun?

In addition to having rubber duckies on our site, we have found out that there is at least one other person in this world besides us who has visited our site! Cool! Thanks for noticing!

Here are the symbols for comparison purposes, starting from the left: the symbol from the Golden Rosy Cross website, the Olias symbol, our version of the Olias symbol and a rubber duck:

As you can see, the rubber duck is very different from any of the other symbols.
