Dharma Initiative Logo

Where did the writers/producers get the logo? I googled this, and read the Wikipedia thing on it, and didn’t get an answer (doesn’t mean it’s not there, I just couldn’t find it within the time I spent reading and googling and knew that dopers would have a better answer anyway).

I was watching an old cult classic (probably my all time favorite) and in it was a logo to an evil Think Tank organization which looked remarkably similar to the Dharma Initiative logo. (I’ll share the name of the movie after a few answers :slight_smile: I don’t want to unduly influence people’s thoughts on this).

I found an answer.

I always thought the symbols around the outside of the octagon were based on I Ching.

Ah bummer. I had hoped it was inspired by the Evil Think Tank logo in “Night of the Comet” which it somewhat resembles. Thanks for your much better than mine google fu though!
