Knight's Emblem

I saw the black and white drawing of the Knight's Emblem was very low resolution and compressed, so I traced it and made a new one. I can't really draw, but it came out okay.

What would the western knights look like?

Eastern Knight's emblem is inspired by western masonic square and compasses symbol, with mount Fuji in the background. For Western Knight to adopt this, they would want to use eastern societies symbol placed on clearly western background. Picrelated is Earth and Heaven Society of China. Add something to it (stonehenge?)

figured people could add on, edit and redraw till we had a nice looking west version of it. I was thinking of an icon for the center much like how the knights of the east had a compass overt mt fuji. Mortar and pestle was the best I could come up with. Yeah I dont like it much either.

This looks surprisingly cryptic.

Shouldnt a western knights calculus have at least latin or arabic symbols?

I was going off what the poster above me said. But I was thinking about this, not the latin so much but arabic symbols. Its kind of why i thought a mortar and pestle might be a good centerpiece as most of the east including the middle east was known for medicine. And if the eastern one had math symbols maybe the western would go with medicine or something? No clue.

true, though the knights logo has little to do with calculus anyways. Knowing the middle east to have made great strides in math I checked the wikipedia page and found this neat drawing, a compass but a little bit more foreign looking perhaps.
