Explanation of DoT's Triskelion Symbol
editAccording to an official DoT webpage, the triskelion symbol
… was designed by James M. Ashworth, an FAA employee, and his family …. The family said that using the triskelion (a symbol of progress in heraldry) in the emblem symbolizes continual progress in development of safe, rapid, and economical transportation. Ground, air, and water transportation are depicted in the three branches of the triskelion, and the counterclockwise motion stresses USDOT efforts to reduce travel time.
Origin of the symbol?
editAnybody know where the symbol came from?
It's a Triskelion as far as I can tell, I'm not sure its origin of use though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6001:E24C:A700:5DD6:6D4C:CAF9:CD84 (talk) 02:59, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
request edit DOT Seal
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
To whomever may help me make an edit to this article:
The image used in this article as the "DOT Seal" is incorrect. I know this as I am the US Department of Transportation's Sr. Intellectual Property counsel and one of my responsibilities is to monitor and protect the Department's Seal. I am not familiar with the page editing process in Wikipedia and would like to get this error corrected. If someone would be willing to assist me, I can provide an appropriate image of the Seal for use on this page. I can be reached at IntelProp@dot.gov.
