    Hi Dave,

    This the emblem? If it is it is known as a Trinacria and is I believe the Isle of Man flag. Although this is not in a plotter-ready format some kind soul out there may do a small conversion for you…

    Dave, just right-click the picture and “save as”.
    Than you can convert away.
    That is one bizarre-looking logo!
    I wonder what history it has?
    Love….Jill

    the three legs are directly related to the motto — “Quocunque Jeceris Stabit” — Whithersoever you throw it, it will stand. This sufficiently shows that — ‘whichever way you throw the Manx/Isle of Man/Manx Community’, they will perservere through it. This is commonly adapated by many schools on the Island as a motto, to show perserverence and ‘hard work’ pays off.

    I was just browsing while rocking ethan to sleep in pram and so thought I would look up the history 😀

    Carrie …. 😀 who really should be getting on with design work instead 😛

    Or the bloke who designed their flag could only draw legs.

    hahahaha…..
    it kinda makes me hungry for KFC wrapped in tinfoil,
    with a side of spurs!

    Either that or they have a lot of three-legged races over there?

    Thanks for the info, Carrie.
    You gotta admit it’s an odd-looking thing.
    Now that I know the meaning of it I can sleep tonight.
    Didn’t know you were such a scholar!
    I’m impressed.
    Love….Jill
