[Dialogue] wedgeblade in Apple ad

[James Wiegel]

Yes, it is the anarchist symbol, much more prevalent in Europe, there have been some conversations over the years that ICA should change its logo because of those associations.  Technically, that one with the wedge and the circle split in half is the "turn symbol" which was created after the summer of 1971 in reflection on the movie "Little Big Man" and as an attempt to state the dynamics of social change:  Pro establishment, Dis establishment (the 2 halves of the circle) and Trans establishment, the wedge, bringing together pro and dis and moving them forward.
   
  The wedge blade was the Ecumenical Institute symbol which old timers remember from the front of room A on the west side and was the main teaching image for the church lecture for the church as social pioneer -- in that sense standing between the no longer and the not yet, laying down your life on behalf of all, or something like that.
   
  As my fading memory recalls, Gene Marshall's group in Summer 71 had a hand in developing that image.
