(It cannot be determined if the design for the symbol was influenced by the design for the power battery or the design for the power battery was influenced by the design for the symbol.)

In addition, the simplicity of the design makes sewing or painting on the symbol to outfits, as well as reapplication of the symbol once it fades on the skin, less time-consuming.īlue Lanterns: At least in the Green Lantern: The Animated Series ( GLTAS) episode “Blue Hope”, the Blue Lanterns’ central power battery has “handles” on the side that resemble the “handles” on the Blue Lantern symbol. The ease in painting and low paint requirements are relevant because the Indigo Lanterns’ outfits look handcrafted, and the bodies of Indigo Lanterns are adorned with their symbol. Since the symbol for the Violet Lanterns is a solid pattern rather than one made of lines, the Indigo Lantern symbol requires less paint than the Violet Lantern symbol. Unlike the symbols for the Orange-, Yellow-, and Blue Lantern Corps, the simple symbol can be rendered in three strokes of the finger. Though it’s unlikely this was thought of at the beginning of the Indigo Tribe, the symbol is also easier to paint than the others. It’s not to be them, not to be in their shoes, but to take a step back to recognize the situation and have compassion for their motivations and understand it on a higher level.“ (source)

Rosenberg, “It requires almost empathy plus distance, paradoxically. That the circle is not connected to anything could represent the distance Indigo Lanterns maintain. Unlike the other Lantern Corps symbols, the inner circle is not connected to any lines. “Indigo Lanterns” (Indigo Tribe): Little is known of the Indigo Tribe, for the Indigo Tribe is reclusive and does not have a long history of appearances. Sometimes it leads to jealousy, which causes conflict, and sometimes it leads to heartbreak, which is sure to hurt as if one had been pierced by a sharp (or spiky) weapon. In addition, love is not always kind and patient and so forth. Furthermore, a variety of sapphire known as a star sapphire exhibits an optical phenomenon that makes its shine star-shaped, and sometimes stars are depicted as spiky. Crystals are indeed pretty, and because of the jewelry-is-feminine connotation, 1 (as well as the long history of brides receiving diamonds) crystals might even be feminine.Though females aren’t associated with spikiness, crystals are. However, the “Violet Lanterns” are officially known as Star Sapphires, and are associated with special pinkish crystals. It would certainly befuddle one further to learn that the emotional entity (sort of like a patron god of a particular Corps emotion) would be called The Predator, and look like a grotesque, spiky spider-dragon. It’s spikier (in this image, at least) than even the symbols for the Orange- and Red Lantern Corps, which are “bad guys” who use “bad” emotions.

“Violet Lanterns” (Star Sapphires): It might seem unconventional or befuddling for the symbol for a Lantern Corps that uses love to look spiky. Use Ctrl+F to search for your favorite Corps. However, since this is just an overview, I won’t discuss that.) (Some of these symbols have a long history, as well as variant forms.
