It's a combination of the male and female sex symbols and the alchemical symbol for soapstone, designed for Prince, and officially named Love Symbol #2 Thats all there is to it, no further posts in this thread will be necessary. | |

Here is Toejam's response to a similar question on an old thread:

The problem is there's no need to see what others 'make of it'.
It is what it is. Period. | |

I can't recall the details, but I seem to remember Prince saying about the symbol that "for every man there is a perfect female counterpart." So the symbol was representing your soulmate.

Should you use proper English I might've gotten to know what you're trying to say.
But something tells me I'm not missing much... | |

I've always seen it as both the Cross, the male and female sex symbols combined and with the curl just like the cloud guitar.....put them all together and you have the symbol.....but thats just me.

When I first glanced at the thread title I read it as "defaming". | |

No. Anyone with opinions about what the symbol means or is made of is wrong. You're all wrong. The facts have already been posted. Stop posting your stupid thoughts. | |

Okay... anyway
I thought of it as a male & female combination, representing Prince's androgyny. Since he wanted to be perceived as both, spiritually, when he'd first started, and still to this day. It's a Prince thing
But good answers from the previous posts, gives me new ideas which is the point of discussion boards Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!! | |

Obviously, no one tries to spoil a thread like ole Jake! If he is so old, tired, and jaded about new people posting their naive enthusiastic threads--then maybe he should retire.... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Nope. I'm not even an English speaking native.
That's why it gets too much on my nerves that a big bunch of you don't have a clue about using your own language. That's shameful, right?
And, again, please stop seeing things with the symbol.
It's a mix between Prince's usual male/female symbols and the Alchemy symbol for soapstone as it has already been said several times on this thread. It is THAT and anything else IT ISN'T. Period. | |

well, thanks for trying to tell native english users what to do with our own lanuage...we can twist and turn all we want...its STILL a free country...USA anyways..
and until PRINCE himself tells us his FULL meaning behind his symbol...(which by the way is the same symbol he's been using for years, he later put the horn/cornicopia squiggly through the center of it amidst the WB issues) he did not create the symbol "as is".
..its a total variation on his original "logo" (like the one that appears on the motorcycle in purple in rain for example). "Its flier to B hungry than fat" | |

original symbol Prince used before adding the "horn" through the middle. as u can see he didnt add much... "Its flier to B hungry than fat" | |

Sorry but it's not YOUR language. English people created it, you just destroy it.
But it's ok if you feel free to be an ignorant. | |
