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.
