The Emblem
The emblem of the Istanbul Stock Exchange is based on a turquoise-coloured globe symbolizing the Earth, with a horizontal line representing Turkey’s position between the 36th and 42nd parallel. The upper curved line is meant to symbolize the bridging of the continents Europe and Asia, while the thick vertical line suggests the "I" of Istanbul. Turquoise is associated with the Turkish people.

Famous quotes containing the word emblem:
“Talking in bed ought to be easiest,
Lying together there goes back so far,
An emblem of two people being honest.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Pharisaism, obtuseness and tyranny reign not only in the homes of merchants and in jails; I see it in science, in literature, and among youth. I consider any emblem or label a prejudice.... My holy of holies is the human body, health, intellect, talent, inspiration, love and the most absolute of freedoms, the freedom from force and falsity in whatever forms they might appear.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
