"Although the international Mechanist Movement uses many symbols to represent the many different sects, factions, groups and organizations associated, unified only loosely with each other by their varying levels of support, promotion and/or even reverence for Science and Technology (and varying avoidance/distrust for Magic and Sorcery among a minority of the wider movement), one common and very recognizable symbol found among many divergent schools and affiliations is the simple 'Wrench and Cog'...

"The origins of the symbol, like the wider movement itself, is shrouded in ambiguity and uncertainty, as were the exact meaning of the symbol itself (leading to no shortage of debates among the many Mechanist branches and within the groups themselves). Clockwork Forge, a notable Machina-Equestrian Mechanist, was taught that the 'Wrench and Cog' as it is depicted (with a wrench in the center of the cog at a horizontal orientation) is a direct reference to a symbol from an ancient alphabet in the Tauren Peninsula, called the 'Theta', and also various other symbols with Anubian/Cryptan/Neighyptian origins. Among its many symbolic representations (Such as the Sun, the number Nine and the soul), it had been used to represent the 'Cosmos' in its entirety. Keeping with the Mechanist philosophy seeing to 'understand the mechanics of the existence' through science and technology, the 'Wrench and Cog' symbol arrangement is a representation of both the Mechanist view of the wider universe as a grand mechanism the inner-workings of which are decipherable and applicable to not only everyday use, but also reach wider and greater understanding in an endless cycle of discovery and enlightenment...

"Many other Mechanist symbols draw inspiration or are outright derived from the simple 'Wrench and Cog' symbol with their own spins and alterations, although some groups use completely different symbols. The techno-religious Rubrum Technis, for example, has a cog against a crimson background with the center wrench replaced by..."

I am currently busy with a lot of things, putting many of my projects on hold, but I'm not completely out of creative juices at the moment. Here's a little something for the Codexverse: the symbol of the Mechanist Movement first speculated by from all the way back to the earliest days of Codex Equus and not elaborated on much beyond the occasional mentions and indirect references in character and story entries. Hope you like it, friend!

Questions and suggestions are welcomed
