Our Logo
At first glance, our logo might seem like a random combination of dots and dashes but to the trained eye, it’s a message cleverly disguised in Morse code. Morse code is comprised of two different signal units called
“dits” (the dots) and “dash” (the dashes). It was invented in the 1800s and is still used today by radio enthusiasts.
Morse code was originally developed as a method to communicate over long distances. The dits and dahs of Morse code represents the binary code used by Solidmesh to interconnect various automation subsystems with each other.
Translated, our logo reads, K 3 2 3, which refers to Colossians 3:23:
Solidmesh
“In all the work you are given, do the best you can. Work as though you are working for the Lord, not any earthly master.”
The “mesh” between the dahs illustrates connection, which in turn forms an “S” for our company name, Solidmesh.
