This logo for IUN was developed by Rev. Len Zanger. He suggested it could be used as a seal or an emblem. (It will be added to the IUN degrees in the near future.) He also suggested its use for university T-shirts.
He describes the symbolism as follows: The icons in the center field represent: at top, a book and compass / dividers symbolizing how we must carefully evaluate what we read--a search for knowlege; at left, an unfinished pyramid whose capstone is doubt, topped by the flame of knowledge; at right, an incomplete doorway to knowlege, its keystone not yet in place. Additionally, there is the latinized church motto, and the year of founding and the lobes of the edge of the seal (thirteen) indicating indifference to superstition.
