I cant hold that against you or your organisation. Can I take your response to mean you don't give this any credit? I respect the fact that you know what you are talking about in the matter of masonic symbolism.

I see no relation between the pizza store's logo and the Square and Compasses. Masonic symbolism is pretty direct on explaining what it means and the Square and Compasses is explained multiple times in the ritual, if something 'kinda' looks like it then the meaning behind the symbols is completely lost.

That'll do for me. Thank you (with no hyphen).

Plus, I always thought the Masonic symbols represented precision which would seem to be at odds with the pizza logo. Not defending this pizza knuckleheads by any means, but just saying.

No worries. We can actually discuss the symbols, they are not the sooper sekret stuff.

I would say this though. In their logo, they had suspiciously incorporated a known paedophile symbol, and then changed it. Which is bloody weird.
My observation isn't completely irrational though, is it? I mean, as much as I respect that the symbology in freemasonry and other organisations is supposed to be preserved, that is not to say that it is merely impossible for some people, of unsound mind, to shoddily incorporate it into their paedo pizza logo, in my opinion. This is in the Washington DC, is it not? These people do have definite affiliations with powerful politicians, up to and including presidential level.

I would say a portion of their logo certainly could be classed as alluding to a portion of the square and compasses logo. My thinking is that it would be pretty obvious if they strictly stuck to the official freemasonry symbol in their pizza logo. I believe they are trying to hide 2 different symbols in their logo, in plain sight.
