Strategy
The logo features a horizontal line symbolizing the horizon and a compass needle in the middle as a symbol for direction.

At the top and the bottom of the circle are two smaller filled circles sitting on the larger outer circle, representing the sun as a key component of an equinox. The outer circle is also a circuit for the Sun's movement. With all of these symbols combined it forms a picture of two people on opposite sides reaching a point of balance and alignment.
