But where did it come from...?<br />
Somebody was definitely influenced by alchemy symbols as there are exact copies of this logo going back to the 15th century (see below). It is the alchemy symbol for "Copiapite" a mineral.<br />
I thought it was interesting that the alchemy symbol that represents Prince - "c<span style="color: red;">OPIA</span>pi<span style="color: red;">TE</span>" contains the word "opiate" which is what lead to the artists untimely death.<br />
