Verrick Fel	Posted - 2009.10.11 12:45:00 - [1] Hi all, would appreciate some of the forumites' collective wisdom to settle a little debate within corp. The debate is about the bird depicted on the Gallente logo. It looks like an eagle to me, but a corpie is convinced it's a chicken. What do you clever people say?
Eran Laude Gallente The Aduro Protocol	Posted - 2009.10.11 12:49:00 - [2] It's the Federal Eagle, I find it hard to believe you could interpret it as anything else. ----- Originally by: "CCP Whisper" Boo hoo. Cry some more.

Professor Tarantula Hedion University	Posted - 2009.10.11 12:52:00 - [5] Originally by: Eran Laude It's the Federal Eagle, I find it hard to believe you could interpret it as anything else. I find it hard to believe you've never seen an image of the mythical phoenix. My deepest sympathies. Prof. Tarantula, Esq.

Verrick Fel	Posted - 2009.10.11 13:10:00 - [8] Well, having poked around google a bit over the last 10 minutes or so, I'm standing by my belief that it's an eagle. Does anyone know if there's actually any official line on what it's supposed to be, and if so, any chance of some linkage so I can show my corpie and thus claim my prize? (This debate became a wager shortly after starting this thread)

The American "symbol" is the eagle, and Gallente are french... americans.

Lots of nations use Eagles as a symbol, The **'s used a stylized version of the traditional German black eagle, the Russians do, the Iraqi's do, the Egyptians do, etc. The list goes on. Edit: */Fascist World War II Germany is filtered, really CCP, really*? Second Edit: I see what you're saying though in regards to the freedom/democracy etc etc.

Unless I'm much mistaken, the Germans, or at least the Prussians, used an eagle for centuries before WW2. Not to mention the Romans, with their legion eagle standards. Don't the Mexicans have an eagle on their flag too?
Ella C'Tronix	Posted - 2009.10.11 13:41:00 - [13] Edited by: Ella C''Tronix on 11/10/2009 13:41:08 Informative nerd rage ahead: Stop saying it's an eagle, kids. It's plumage looks nothing like an Eagle nor does it's head. After closer inspection, it appears the guy with the mythical bird thoery was probably correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_%28mythology%29 Observe the image on the coin.

Unless I'm much mistaken, the Germans, or at least the Prussians, used an eagle for centuries before WW2. Not to mention the Romans, with their legion eagle standards. Don't the Mexicans have an eagle on their flag too? Yep, the German Eagle is one of the oldest extant state insignia in the world, having been in near-continuous use with a few breaks here and there by various German instutions within the Holy Roman Empire, German States and later the Germany Empire and modern Germany, for about 600 years, and it directly derives [AFAIK] from the Roman use of it and it's use by Charlemagne. The HRE adopted the Eagle as a link to the old, true Roman Empire. It evolved into the two-headed eagle in Austria in the 19th Century, but both the single and double-headed eagles are still in use. The Mexicans also have an eagle of their own, but not because of any imperial links, simply because it relates to the Aztec legend of the original founding of Tenochtitlan, where Mexico City is today. /History lesson The Eagle in the Federal emblem is likely probably a link to the US use of it though, since the Gallente are really just an amalgam of many Western democracies rather than just the French. ----- Originally by:** "CCP Whisper" Boo hoo.

Khemul Zula Amarr Keisen Trade League	Posted - 2009.10.11 14:04:00 - [17] It's a turkey. Obviously.
Aireo	Posted - 2009.10.11 14:09:00 - [18] Edited by: Aireo on 11/10/2009 14:09:11 I'm thinking its an Eagle, the Gallente have some kind of law enforcement called the 'Black Eagles' Quote: watching the Black Eagles reach out to confiscate his earpiece and datapad. ^^^ From the World on Fire chronicle

Unless I'm much mistaken, the Germans, or at least the Prussians, used an eagle for centuries before WW2. You are dead correct, which I also stated in my post. (However admittedly I am dyslexic, and may have used the word traditional incorrectly.)The Mexicans also use the Eagle on their flag which I believe is in the process of eating a snake.

Axel Strom	Posted - 2009.10.11 14:20:00 - [22] Edited by: Axel Strom on 11/10/2009 14:21:24 Originally by: Professor Tarantula Phoenix. I have to say, I think the eagle a few posts up looks a lot closer to it Though that may just be the flames getting in the way of the phoenix's tail. certainly the phoenix in you pic seems to have the right wings....
iudex	Posted - 2009.10.11 14:22:00 - [23] Eagles as state symbols originate back to the Roman Empire. Since then they are used by many states, a prominent example is the Reichsadler, an eagle with holds the Swastika, used by German "Reich" 1933-1945, which saw itself in many ways as in tradition of the Roman Empire. _____________________________________________________ My skills // Faction Standings: Serpentis +8.02 / Angel Cartel +9.24 / Gallente Federation -10.00
Professor Tarantula Hedion University	Posted - 2009.10.11 14:27:00 - [24] Edited by: Professor Tarantula on 11/10/2009 14:27:56 Originally by: Axel Strom I have to say, I think the eagle a few posts up looks a lot closer to it They are both birds traditionally shown with their heads turned to the same side. Regardless of the artist, it could just as easily be either one. It just happens a certain group of people are a little obsessed with eagles, and that skews their opinion. My deepest sympathies.

Serge Bastana Gallente GWA Corp	Posted - 2009.10.11 15:05:00 - [30] If he thinks that's a chicken, he's gonna **** a brick when he encounters an turkey ------------------------------------------------ You either need a punch up the throat or a good shag. Nobody round here is offering the second one therefore your choices are limited!
