I am somewhat interested in national emblems, flags and logos, so the recent reveal of these pre-UEE logos raised certain questions. I figured the interlocking rings mean unity, but is that all there is to it, as far as SC lore is concerned? Why did the UNE choose exactly 3 (not 5 or more) interlocking rings? What made that choice so solid that the UPE chose to keep it (albeit making it 4 rings) after so many years? Why the UEE didn't keep the rings, and instead used its acronym as the centerpiece of the current imperial emblem? Is the aforementioned interlocking rings symbol still used in the UEE for some official purposes other than history lessons and museum exhibitions, or has it been completely phased out?
