The symbolism
-
The large capital R with bar
-
This represents my initials, RAD. The R
is obvious. The A is formed by the two legs
and the bar. The D is formed by the upper part
of the R.
-
The Roman numeral II inside the bar
-
This represents the suffix to my name, 2nd (which is the way it
appears on my birth certificate)
-
The pointed cross
-
This heraldic device, a cross crosslet fitchy, is from the SANDS
arms, my paternal grandmother's line.
Cross crosslet fitchy: A combination of cross and sword; unshakable faith
See: Parker.
-
The "wavy-armed star"
-
Another heraldic device, an estoile, from the STARR arms,
my maternal grandmother's line.
Estoile: Celestial goodness; noble person
See: Parker.
-
The knotted column
-
Representing my Celtic roots.
-
My name in script
-
This typeface is called Black Chancery.
A chancery is a public records office. This
represents my interest in genealogy.
-
The geometric designs forming the large letter
-
This represents my technical and scientific training.
These designs are part of the R in the Davinci font.
