The New Millennium Peace Sign
Love All People (of All Religions) Sign "Love All People (of All Religions) – The New Millennium Peace Sign”, Copyright © Randolph E. Harr Created initially in November 2000, this sign is meant to symbolize the inspiration to love all people no matter what their race, creed, or ethnicity. So much strife in this world is due to highlighting the differences in people, especially their religious beliefs and practices. And yet all religions teach us to be compassionate and love our fellow souls. Therefore, this symbol is meant to show how we must unite and love each other no matter what the religious background as we are all after the same thing: love of God and our fellow man. The sign is composed of the word Love overlaid onto a few religious symbols. The “L” turns into the cross, a symbol for the Christian faiths of the world. I was originally looking for a way to distinctly represent Protestants as well as Catholics separately to highlight the continuing conflict in Northern Ireland. But the message gets too muddled. The “O” turns into the crescent moon with an optional star. This symbol is closely associated with Muslims in general, as it is depicted on the flags of the many predominantly Muslim countries. Interestingly, the religious clerics do not condone the use of this or any other symbol to represent Islam and seem to feel this ancient Arabic symbol is for non-believers, at best. But, given I needed symbols to represent the various religions, I had to go with this Western perception of a symbol to represent the Islamic faithful. The “V” turns into the star of David, a key symbol of Judaism and the state of Israel; a focal point of much of the Middle East strife this past century. The “E” is mirror imaged to form the main part of the “Om” or “Aum” symbol of Hinduism. The symbol stands for Brahman. Lest I get into deeper trouble on this and the previous explanations, it is suggested you research all of these symbols and the religions behind them on your own to get a deeper understanding of people in this world. Apologies in advance to the many other important and respected world religions not depicted; such as Buddhists, Sikhs, and Zoroastrians. ….

The sign is composed of the word Love overlaid onto a few religious symbols. Animation is best viewed to the music of John Lennon's "Imagine“.

The “L” turns into the cross, a symbol for the Christian faiths of the world. I was originally looking for a way to distinctly represent Protestants as well as Catholics separately to highlight the continuing conflict in Northern Ireland. But the message gets too muddled. The “O” turns into the crescent moon with an optional star. This symbol is closely associated with Muslims in general, as it is depicted on the flags of the many predominantly Muslim countries. Interestingly, the religious clerics do not condone the use of this or any other symbol to represent Islam and seem to feel this ancient Arabic symbol is for non-believers, at best. But, given I needed symbols to represent the various religions, I had to go with this Western perception of a symbol to represent the Islamic faithful. The “V” turns into the star of David, a key symbol of Judaism and the state of Israel; a focal point of much of the Middle East strife this past century. The “E” is mirror imaged to form the main part of the “Om” or “Aum” symbol of Hinduism. The symbol stands for Brahman. Lest I get into deeper trouble on this and the previous explanations, it is suggested you research all of these symbols and the religions behind them on your own to get a deeper understanding of people in this world. Apologies in advance to the many other important and respected world religions not depicted; such as Buddhists, Sikhs, and Zoroastrians. …. Randy Harr (October 2001)

The “L” turns into the cross, a symbol for the Christian faiths of the world. I was originally looking for a way to distinctly represent Protestants as well as Catholics separately to highlight the continuing conflict in Northern Ireland. But the message gets too muddled. The “O” turns into the crescent moon with an optional star. This symbol is closely associated with Muslims in general, as it is depicted on the flags of the many predominantly Muslim countries. Interestingly, the religious clerics do not condone the use of this or any other symbol to represent Islam and seem to feel this ancient Arabic symbol is for non-believers, at best.

"Love All People (of All Religions) – The New Millennium Peace Sign”, complicated color animation for web. Copyright © Randolph E. Harr Created initially in November 2000, this sign is meant to symbolize the inspiration to love all people no matter what their race, creed, or ethnicity. So much strife in this world is due to highlighting the differences in people, especially their religious beliefs and practices. And yet all religions teach us to be compassionate and love our fellow souls. Therefore, this symbol is meant to show how we must unite and love each other no matter what the religious background as we are all after the same thing: love of God and our fellow man. The sign is composed of the word Love overlaid onto a few religious symbols. Animation is best viewed to the music of John Lennon's "Imagine“. No pirating intended although copies of this animation with ripped MP3’s of the song are known to exist. …. Randy Harr (October 2001) Copyright © Randolph E. Harr

The “V” turns into the star of David, a key symbol of Judaism and the state of Israel; a focal point of much of the Middle East strife this past century. The “E” is mirror imaged to form the main part of the “Om” or “Aum” symbol of Hinduism. The symbol stands for Brahman. Lest I get into deeper trouble on this and the previous explanations, it is suggested you research all of these symbols and the religions behind them on your own to get a deeper understanding of people in this world.

The “L” turns into the cross, a symbol for the Christian faiths of the world. I was originally looking for a way to distinctly represent Protestants as well as Catholics separately to highlight the continuing conflict in Northern Ireland. But the message gets too muddled.

"Love All People (of All Religions) – The New Millennium Peace Sign”, complicated color animation for web. Copyright © Randolph E. Harr Created initially in November 2000, this sign is meant to symbolize the inspiration to love all people no matter what their race, creed, or ethnicity. So much strife in this world is due to highlighting the differences in people, especially their religious beliefs and practices. And yet all religions teach us to be compassionate and love our fellow souls. Therefore, this symbol is meant to show how we must unite and love each other no matter what the religious background as we are all after the same thing: love of God and our fellow man. The sign is composed of the word Love overlaid onto a few religious symbols. Animation is best viewed to the music of John Lennon's "Imagine“. No pirating intended although copies of this animation with ripped MP3’s of the song are known to exist. …. Randy Harr (October 2001) Copyright © Randolph E. Harr

Therefore, this symbol is meant to show how we must unite and love each other no matter what the religious background as we are all after the same thing: love of God and our fellow man. The sign is composed of the word Love overlaid onto a few religious symbols. Animation is best viewed to the music of John Lennon's "Imagine“. No pirating intended although copies of this animation with ripped MP3’s of the song are known to exist. …. Randy Harr (October 2001) Copyright © Randolph E. Harr

The “L” turns into the cross, a symbol for the Christian faiths of the world. I was originally looking for a way to distinctly represent Protestants as well as Catholics separately to highlight the continuing conflict in Northern Ireland. But the message gets too muddled. The “O” turns into the crescent moon with an optional star. This symbol is closely associated with Muslims in general, as it is depicted on the flags of the many predominantly Muslim countries. Interestingly, the religious clerics do not condone the use of this or any other symbol to represent Islam and seem to feel this ancient Arabic symbol is for non-believers, at best. But, given I needed symbols to represent the various religions, I had to go with this Western perception of a symbol to represent the Islamic faithful. The “V” turns into the star of David, a key symbol of Judaism and the state of Israel; a focal point of much of the Middle East strife this past century. The “E” is mirror imaged to form the main part of the “Om” or “Aum” symbol of Hinduism. The symbol stands for Brahman. Lest I get into deeper trouble on this and the previous explanations, it is suggested you research all of these symbols and the religions behind them on your own to get a deeper understanding of people in this world. Apologies in advance to the many other important and respected world religions not depicted; such as Buddhists, Sikhs, and Zoroastrians. …. Randy Harr (October 2001)

The “V” turns into the star of David, a key symbol of Judaism and the state of Israel; a focal point of much of the Middle East strife this past century. The “E” is mirror imaged to form the main part of the “Om” or “Aum” symbol of Hinduism. The symbol stands for Brahman.

"Love All People (of All Religions) – The New Millennium Peace Sign”, complicated color animation for web. Copyright © Randolph E. Harr Created initially in November 2000, this sign is meant to symbolize the inspiration to love all people no matter what their race, creed, or ethnicity. So much strife in this world is due to highlighting the differences in people, especially their religious beliefs and practices. And yet all religions teach us to be compassionate and love our fellow souls. Therefore, this symbol is meant to show how we must unite and love each other no matter what the religious background as we are all after the same thing: love of God and our fellow man. The sign is composed of the word Love overlaid onto a few religious symbols. Animation is best viewed to the music of John Lennon's "Imagine“. No pirating intended although copies of this animation with ripped MP3’s of the song are known to exist. …. Randy Harr (October 2001) Copyright © Randolph E. Harr

Interestingly, the religious clerics do not condone the use of this or any other symbol to represent Islam and seem to feel this ancient Arabic symbol is for non-believers, at best. But, given I needed symbols to represent the various religions, I had to go with this Western perception of a symbol to represent the Islamic faithful. The “V” turns into the star of David, a key symbol of Judaism and the state of Israel; a focal point of much of the Middle East strife this past century. The “E” is mirror imaged to form the main part of the “Om” or “Aum” symbol of Hinduism. The symbol stands for Brahman. Lest I get into deeper trouble on this and the previous explanations, it is suggested you research all of these symbols and the religions behind them on your own to get a deeper understanding of people in this world. Apologies in advance to the many other important and respected world religions not depicted; such as Buddhists, Sikhs, and Zoroastrians. …. Randy Harr (October 2001)

"Love All People (of All Religions) – The New Millennium Peace Sign”, complicated color animation for web. Copyright © Randolph E. Harr Created initially in November 2000, this sign is meant to symbolize the inspiration to love all people no matter what their race, creed, or ethnicity. So much strife in this world is due to highlighting the differences in people, especially their religious beliefs and practices. And yet all religions teach us to be compassionate and love our fellow souls. Therefore, this symbol is meant to show how we must unite and love each other no matter what the religious background as we are all after the same thing: love of God and our fellow man. The sign is composed of the word Love overlaid onto a few religious symbols. Animation is best viewed to the music of John Lennon's "Imagine“. No pirating intended although copies of this animation with ripped MP3’s of the song are known to exist. …. Randy Harr (October 2001) Copyright © Randolph E. Harr

Harr Created initially in November 2000, this sign is meant to symbolize the inspiration to love all people no matter what their race, creed, or ethnicity. So much strife in this world is due to highlighting the differences in people, especially their religious beliefs and practices. And yet all religions teach us to be compassionate and love our fellow souls. Therefore, this symbol is meant to show how we must unite and love each other no matter what the religious background as we are all after the same thing: love of God and our fellow man. The sign is composed of the word Love overlaid onto a few religious symbols. Animation is best viewed to the music of John Lennon's "Imagine“. No pirating intended although copies of this animation with ripped MP3’s of the song are known to exist. …. Randy Harr (October 2001) Copyright © Randolph E. Harr

The “L” turns into the cross, a symbol for the Christian faiths of the world. I was originally looking for a way to distinctly represent Protestants as well as Catholics separately to highlight the continuing conflict in Northern Ireland. But the message gets too muddled. The “O” turns into the crescent moon with an optional star. This symbol is closely associated with Muslims in general, as it is depicted on the flags of the many predominantly Muslim countries. Interestingly, the religious clerics do not condone the use of this or any other symbol to represent Islam and seem to feel this ancient Arabic symbol is for non-believers, at best. But, given I needed symbols to represent the various religions, I had to go with this Western perception of a symbol to represent the Islamic faithful. The “V” turns into the star of David, a key symbol of Judaism and the state of Israel; a focal point of much of the Middle East strife this past century. The “E” is mirror imaged to form the main part of the “Om” or “Aum” symbol of Hinduism. The symbol stands for Brahman. Lest I get into deeper trouble on this and the previous explanations, it is suggested you research all of these symbols and the religions behind them on your own to get a deeper understanding of people in this world. Apologies in advance to the many other important and respected world religions not depicted; such as Buddhists, Sikhs, and Zoroastrians. …. Randy Harr (October 2001)
