Odd corporate logo.

This is the corporate logo for Tactronics Holdings, LLC, a high-tech defense contractor. Can someone tell me what this logo depicts?

looks like some kind of Ace of Spades at the center of the earth with GOD like pitchforks coming at it.

An Upside down triangle with tree tridents pointing inwards from the three points of the triangle with an inner triangle pointing to earth with a spade with what could be "alien" eyes?

I don't really see anything there. If you go to their website they deal a lot with spec ops vehicles. They also do work for UK, Denmark, US, and they also deal with navigation systems for trident subs.

No big deal, they are in the business of making it easier to kill people.

interesting ... i have no clue what the symbol could stand for, but i would feel pretty bad a if i was using a weapon that had that logo on it ....

Throughout history the spade has been used to represent agriculture, combative prowess & forceful progress.. Traced back to ancient Sumeria, where the spade or "marru" carried by the chief god Marduk, as a triangular-headed spear. In the standard deck of playing cards, each suit represents influential figures throughout history. Spades are used to represent the soldiering class, whose influence was through rash actions such as war. In modern times the spade mostly represents agriculture and gardening.

The Ace of Spades was used by American soldiers as a psychological weapon in the Vietnam War. US troops playing on ancient Vietnamese traditions in which the spade means death and ill fortune used the symbol to scare away NLF soldiers without firefight. They often left the Ace of Spades on the bodies of killed Vietnamese, often littering the forested grounds and fields with the card. This custom was used so often that the Bicycle Playing Cards company supplied cases marked "Bicycle Secret Weapon" containing only the ace of spades in bulk. Truly not a symbol symbol of fear to the NLF, the card helped the morale of American soldiers, who often inserted this card into their helmet band as an anti peace sign.


The trident generally represents Poseidon Or Neptune, the god of the sea in Greek mythology and Shiva, a Hindu god. The trident also represents the three paths to self-realization, namely the path of knowledge, the path of action and the path of devotion. It's use represents that Siva is the controller of the world & illusion. The trident also represents the past, present & future, the three aspects of time as well as sattva, rajas & tamas, the trinity of nature. Siva, the master of maya, the master of these three qualities with which he controls the world by destroying evil, restoring order and creates a divine world by abolishing anger,lust & pride on the three prongs of his trident.


The symbol of the inverted triangle represents the womb in Catholicism & thus links the serpent into the symbolism. It's use obliterated the symbolism of 25,000 years of goddess worship by the ancient Greeks.
The inverted triangle in satanism Symbolizes the lord Satan, the prophet and the Antichrist, Number of the One who is one and three, the unholy trinity.The US Navy Special Warfare insignia, worn by the US Navy Seals, contains a trident representing the three aspects (Sea, Air, and Land) of SEAL special operations.



Well my mind is racing with all kinds of scenarios , lol

wow, that is one intimidating spade! It does weird me out. Hmmm. are those tridents or pitchforks?

My interpretation, the spade covering the world makes it seem like the world is damned. And those three pitchforks (I see them as pitchforks) are three types of evil? Just a thought!

maybe...um..they thought it looked cool?

There is a contact e-mail. Think they would mind a question as to the meaning of the logo?

Had to edit. Link wouldn't work.
