The logo for Neo-Terra symbolizes the integration between humans and both our natural and built environments. The octagon symbolizes our structured world* and built environment; it indicates that we should stop our present destructive ways to reconsider all that supports and sustain us. The octagon also symbolizes the understanding of Buckminster Fuller's "synergetics," the geometry of Nature, and of our options to look to Nature as a teacher. As we, the brown, earthen human at the logo's center, discover new ways to live in harmony with our life-sustaining eco-systems, our solutions and methods will be deeply rooted and well-grounded - hence the root structure pictured. We will also be enlightened** and draw from the immense life-sustaining power of our world and solar system, symbolized by the sun and its rays that extend outward, penetrating through all of our rigid structures (the octagon). This outward flow leads us to a broad spectrum of options for our future, symbolized by the rainbow of colors from sky to earth.
"Neo-Terra" is printed in green to symbolize life, health and healing. Green is regarded as a healing color.
*structured in many ways: socially, economically, etc.
**in the sense observed by Albert Einstein when he said, “The significant problems of the world cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness at which they were created.” ; Also by Carl Jung: All the greatest and most important problems of life are fundamentally insoluble…. They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This ‘outgrowing’ proved on further investigation to require a new level of consciousness.
