Newfoundking Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 That is a Maltese cross, modified slightly to make the logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Theres no technical term? Like is the star of life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm not sure I understand... That there is the star of life yes, and the Chicago Fire one is a Maltese Cross, many departments use variations of this for their logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter42 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I think you're getting yourself mixed up. The star of life is the name for the whole symbol, and it features a six pointed star. I'll just assume that that chigago badge would just be called "the Chigago fire department badge", but like Newfoundking said, the symbol used is a modified(?) Maltese cross.

Newfoundking Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 That isn't the official one to my knowledge, but just like a user created one...but it is a maltese cross, edited for a certain department... I don't know how else to explain it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I think you're getting yourself mixed up. The star of life is the name for the whole symbol, and it features a six pointed star.I think your mixed up as I obviously referred to the whole symbol as the star of life.I dont think it matters but to try to clarify, the star of life refers to the whole symbol, so I assume there has to be some sort of proper name for the logo in the first post, not even specific to that logo but the logo in general. Like there is the one in the first post, or ones like these:http://www.scgov.net/PublicCommunications/...reLogoColor.jpghttp://diberville.ms.us/admin/wp-content/u...logo-small1.jpghttp://newbrickingtonfirerescue.webs.com/Fire%20Logo.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCERT1 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 That isn't the official one to my knowledge, but just like a user created one...but it is a maltese cross, edited for a certain department... I don't know how else to explain it...The Chicago Fire logo is for their soccer team.For more on the star of life and what it means:click hereFor more on the Maltese cross:click hereNote that the firefighter version does not have all the same symbolism. It is simply a reference back to the Knights Hospitaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 ^thanks but I already know what they mean, i just figured there was an actual term other then it just being a Maltese cross variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
