Wouldn't this support the theory that it's turned because of Ben's turning of the Frozen Donkey Wheel? He turned it about 90 degrees, which seems to be quite interesting.

Ok, so the donkey wheel turn has me thinking directions. I took the logo, and found out which trigrams are attributed to which physical direction. See file.

If directions come into play at any given point in this game, North may no longer be "up"....heh.

Good thinking, but until other things are discovered, there's really not much we can do, learning that East is Up.

Wouldn't Qian be up, as it is Heaven?

^^^^ Awesome Job!!!!

Well I think that solves the mystery.

Unless they are trying to tell us something by changing the logo.

I really dig the oragami idea, especially since they handed out instructions on how to fold a swan.

I wonder if it matches Ben's logo when he landed in Tunisia? Don't have time to look right now.

The graphic-designer side of me looks at this and thinks the wheel was rotated for purely stylistic reasons. The one "spoke" that really stands out is the one with the hole in the middle; the rest have slots of varying depths (or none at all.) In other words, the rest are closed convex/concave shapes, whereas the one is a torus. When you throw the word "DHARMA" across it (as in the Comicon booth), the doughnut hole is obscured by the text and doesn't have as much attention drawn to it. Alternately, it could have been rotated 90 degrees the other direction, but then you possibly have the doughnut hole lining up with the hole in the "D", which would be aesthetically wonky.

That's my take on it, at least.

No, it's just not the same.

The logo changes from when Ben turns the FDW and when he lands in Tunisia.

ruckusguy just logged into his YT page but I don't see anything new yet.

Apopheniac79- oh yeah the shadow doesn't match

Silly idea: could the logo have bits cut out and have been turned 90 degrees due to Dharma redesigining themseleves, just because the last logo was 30 years ago, new logo, new Dharma idea, most componies change thier logo before a relaunch

Part of my personal theory of "what the hell is happening on Lost" is that the Island doesn't just move through traditional space and time but dimensions as well.

Dimension "A" Dharma comes to the Island, finds the donkey wheel, turns it and accidently (as in the Incident?) moves it into Dimension "B". Later, Ben puts on a Dimension "A" Dharma coat, turns the donky wheel, intentionally sends the Island into Dimension "C", and gets thrown out into Dimension "B". If so, Ben's logo changing on his jacket (or the other variations) of the Dharma logo have no significant meaning. They are just that, variations of the logo for different Dharmas in different dimensions. The changing of Ben's logo is the same "course correction" that Desmond learns about during his initial time hopping.

It's all quite logical, no? Rolling Eyes
