Since I was in high school, friends called me a\u00a0francophile<\/strong><\/em>, a ‘person obsessed with everything French, especially wine, Champagne, art, food and the French language.’ \u00a0So, it was only natural that I always liked the\u00a0fleur-de-lis<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0symbol. \u00a0The\u00a0fleur-de-lis<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is a stylized\u00a0lily<\/a>\u00a0(in French,\u00a0fleur<\/em>\u00a0means “flower”, and\u00a0lis<\/em>\u00a0means “lily”) that is used as a decorative design or\u00a0symbol<\/a>.\u00a0A graphic designer even created my logo around it. \u00a0If you look closely, you\u2019ll see an \u201cA\u201d for Alyssa and a \u201cB\u201d for Burns, in the shape of a fleur-de-lis.<\/p>\n Most often seen as the symbol of French royalty, the\u00a0fleur-de-lis can also represent power and strength in foreign military units, and perfection, light and life in Catholicism.\u00a0While the fleur-de-lis was sporadically used in Babylonian, Egyptian and Roman architecture, the symbol was first used prominently in the 12th century by French monarch Louis VI or Louis VII. Around this time, a legend had developed involving fourth-century Frankish monarch Clovis I, who was allegedly anointed with the oil of a fleur de lis. Thus, the fleur de lis represented the divine authority given to French rulers.* \u00a0To me, it meant\u00a0anything French, so being a\u00a0francophile<\/em><\/strong>, I love that my logo\u00a0incorporates a\u00a0fleur-de-lis in its design.<\/p>\n What are some of your favorite symbols and why? \u00a0I\u2019d like to hear your ideas around this.<\/p>\n [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] Symbols\u00a0often take the form of words, visual images, or gestures that are used to convey ideas and beliefs.
