User Meeting Logos
Unique identifiers for unique events
Each Dyalog user meeting has a unique logo. These are based on pieces of ancient Scandinavian jewellery, honouring our Scandinavian management team and thriving user base across the Nordic region.
The logos follow particular themes, each with their own meanings in Norse sagas and mythology:
Wyrms | Viking Ships | Odin’s ravens | Thor’s hammer
2006 - 2011
Wyrms
Wyrms can be snakes, worms, serpents, or dragons (particularly serpentine dragons without wings or with small legs). They have a potent and often conflicting duality, symbolising both protective forces and chaotic destruction, wisdom and danger, and order and violence, as well as renewal and transformation.
The wyrms selected are depicted in Urnes Style, which predominated during the second half of the 11th century and in the early 12th century. Urnes Style is characterised by stylised animals interwoven into tight patterns.

Viking Ships
Viking ships, particularly the longship, are known for their speed, versatility, and ability to navigate both across oceans and along rivers. In addition to their military uses, they helped the Vikings conduct long-distance trades and explore new lands, and were crucial to the Vikings’ ability to expand their influence.
