: Тут спросили и я задумался.
: Что изображено на логотипе?
: Я так думаю, что световой конус. Кто-нибудь видел описание логотипа?

"The WYP Logo
...Since its introduction by the European Physical Society, the logo has been subject to divergent interpretations. To physicists, it signifies a light cone, while to the general public, most of whom have never heard of a light cone, it most frequently is seen as an hourglass, symbolizing Einstein's profound insight into the relativity of time. The colors are probably merely decorative, but it has been suggested that, in the light cone interpretation, the future is blue because we are rushing toward it and hence it is blue-shifted, whereas we are moving away from the red-shifted past. No one has yet provided a convincing interpretation of the green and yellow colors of the diagonal members."

"...By the way, don't you think the logo is kinda cool? Yeah, the brush-stroke style is dated, but the concept is interesting. The whole design looks like an hourglass, maybe representative of the 100 years that have passed. It also seems to have maybe a second meaning: the upper blue oval could be a lens, with the yellow and green strokes representing light rays. The bottom red partial oval could represent their projection of the beams of light.
[I was pretty much on target with the interpretation of the logo (scroll to the bottom), but there are some interesting differences. The hourglass motif represents Einstein's insight into the relativity of time. My light beam idea was really close, with this added concept: the blue oval represents the future, since the light is 'blue-shifted' because we are rushing towards it, and the past is 'red-shifted' because we are moving away from it. Excellent.]" |
