Different logos on each statue

I don't know who keeps changing my edits, but look at the pictures of the assassins that appear in the Sanctuary, and now look at their waists. They all have a different logo. In fact, check it up-close in game.122.104.203.226 07:32, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

I kept changing them because your origional edit honestly didn't make much sense, and your edit after that was simply you getting all pissy at me for changing your origional one. However, your last edit was done properly, and if it had been done that way in the FIRST place, we wouldn't have had any problem. And if you think your little rant to me can't be viewed again, then think again, because every page has an un-removeable history, all the admins have to do is look and they'll see your disrespect tward me. Odds are, you'll get in trouble. But back on topic, I did notice the different A symbols on their belts, but the reason I changed your origional edit is because it made no sense at all.

How to draw

does anyone know how to draw the logo using proper graphic measurements

I've figured out what the Assassin's Insignia Resembles!

This is a screenshot taken directly from the AC: Brotherhood cinematic trailer:

This is the original Assassins' Insignia:

The insignia resembles the hood worn by the Assassins!

Could someone put this into the entry?

No. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 21:39, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Anyone who's not a complete jerk?

That was really uncalled for. I think I've got something. If you think I'm wrong, there's a polite way of saying so. This Wiki, or any Wiki for that matter, wouldn't have become what it is if its community were as harsh as you are.DiamondBlade1 06:22, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Not sure what this is for but isn't it supposed to resemble two hidden blades? --Gta-mysteries ^{◀RingADing▶} 06:24, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

How exactly? I don't see the resemblance. The insignia is clearly a full triangle (well... sort of), whereas if it were to resemble the two hidden blades, it would be drawn as two separate lines. Plus, that isn't possible as the insignia was created before the release of AC2, that is, before the double hidden blades were introduced. DiamondBlade1 07:30, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

To me it kind of does. I read it on some website, and saw a bit of the resemblance. I do see the hood resemblance too. --Gta-mysteries ^{◀RingADing▶} 07:55, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

The Insignia resembles the hood and the hood resembles the insignia!

Zac Skywalker 15: 29, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Ibelieve this may be partly true but i strongly believe that the hood resembles the beak of an eagle. JB12398 (talk) 23:38, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Also i believe the insignia resmebles the A in assassin's more than the hoodJB12398 (talk) 23:42, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

The Insignia and the Assassins Hood

Why the hell was my editing undone without any explanation? and why, for God's sake, can't people be nice and civilized? DiamondBlade1 16:44, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Just because they both have a teardrop shape, doesn't mean that they look the same. Campbell430 17:00, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Are you kidding me? Look at the pictures above. They're practically overlapping. Besides, I didn't state in my edit that they were the same. I brought up a speculation, just as the Trivia section has speculations in it. DiamondBlade1 09:13, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

You sure it's not the other way around? That as many encountered elements as possible are supposed to resemble the assassins' emblem, like easter eggs for conspiracy buffs? As for me, when I first saw it, it struck me as to how closely it resembles an 'A'...as in...er... assassin, I guess. Duo-blade theroy is pretty sound, but not as in dual-blade wielding like Ezio, but rather to signify multiple blade users, like a brotherhood. As in "a fraternity of parkour-enthusiats sporting concealed weaponry and neutral garments engaging in activities such as discreetly sticking said weaponry in peoples' throats only to quietly walk away minding the weather". Nicke.e 18:39, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Yes and the rules state that speculation must be avoided in articles. And trivia sections only have minor speculations.Campbell430 11:40, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Does the Assassin's insigna look like the symbol of the Freemasons (with the square removed)?

Does the assassins insigna look like the symbol of the freemasons (with the square removed)? Blix1ms0ns 01:13, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Is there anyway to prove that? Blix1ms0ns 19:39, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

What would it look like when the assassin insignia combine with the symbol of the templars?

Variations/Renditions

Not to sound like I'm ranting I just want to help because The gallery says that one image there shows the Renaissance rendition of the Assassin Emblem, though if I remember correctly, that image was taken from the Codex in AC2, which is written by Altair around the Middle Ages. Also there is a "Rome Rendition" of the emblem from AC:B, and for those who don't know what I'm talking about, it's in Ezio's belt and in the loading screen at the startup of the game as the background of the "game made by multicultural etc." message, among other places so if someone could take a photo/picture/image/whatever of it and make sure it's high quality then upload it here (I don't know how to take a screenshot >.<). One last thing: Nikola Orelov's image on his page here also has a different version of the emblem. It has, I think, Laurel leaves around it or maby they're swords and the top part of the Emblem has an extra metal protuding inwards although it maybe the locking part of the belt (Sorry I don't read the comics so I don't know what it is).112.198.129.5 10:22, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Image request

I can't take any good quality images myself, but if anyone is able, adding close-up shots of the Assassin insignias worn by the six Assassins in the Sanctuary should add a lot to the article. =GuardDog 23:16, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Was looking at them, and there are two angles, in one you can see them up front but the size is really small (130*130), while in the other it's a good quality, but as the symbol is looked from under the image looks distorted. Which one do I choose?

Found them. I'll start uploading.

Insignia

The Roman Insignia and The Italian Renaissance Insignia belong to the same time period or is the Roman insignia supposed to represent the Assassin Order in Brutus' and Leonius' time?

No, they really are of the same time period - though might have just changed for Ezio's personal preference. Also, please remember to sign your posts with 4 ~s. =GuardDog 01:29, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

A for Assassin

Isn't the logo based on the letter A for "Assassin"? It doesn't make sense within the historical context of the game, but behind the scenes, it looks like the letter A was the basis for the logo.

Prongs and calipers

Of course this is as much speculation as the guy above that associated the insignia to the hood, but as I was trying to find a basis for the symbol, I noticed how it looks like the prongs used to brand the mark on the finger of an Assassin in his/her initiation. Particularly in this and this screenshot.

Previously they cutted the finger, not only for the hidden blade to work but as a symbol of commitment. Then it could mean the symbol is a representation of the tool they used for this, remembering them further of their commitment and their creed.

And, talking about tools, it is very much like an outside caliper (a measuring tool).

Anyway, don't revealing the meaning promotes discussion and interpretation, which is cool.
