The Meany In Our Logo



Red Maltese Cross

The red Maltese cross is known around the world as a symbol of the fire service. It is often seen painted on fire trucks, on the clothing of firefighters, depicted on firefighters badges, and is quite often the chosen design of firefighter tattoos.

So why did we choice this variation to the cross? 

Each red panel represents the seeking of information from all directions. Each panel is non conforming to traditional shape which represents our rebellious search for information and the truth.
  • The top panel represents the seeking of information into the future where we have not yet ventured. We must be forward seeking to be prepared for what awaits us.
  • The bottom panel represents the rear or the past as we learn from history and those that have been this way before.
  • The side panels represent the left and right as we continue our search for truth it reminds us to not veer to far to either side and strive for balance.
  • The spaces between the panels reminds us that we need to allow outside forces to enter our world from time to time and influence our search for information.

There is an open book with the inscription “FENU” in Cyrillic. Above the book, there is one scarlet flame of a torch. The open book and the torch with one quiet straight flame are international symbols of education, progress and enlightenment.
