Just because it's an eye?yea well we could debate the meaning of symbolism in logos and movies it would be a loooooong thread. CBS looks masonic to me .
Or they just picked an eye and triangle to use.they have an eye in the triangle, so masonic - cbs and aol are not exactly 'illuminati' symbolism because the eye is above/seperated from the triangle/pyramid meaning separation of god/great architect from the great project/pyramid . Masonic symbolism is positive occult symbolism , illuminati is negative occult symbolism .
this inside joke is widespread in the entertainment industry.
CBS looks masonic to me .
Never understood how symbols that most people don't have a conscious understanding of can influence them to do anything . . .considering this is nickelodeon, its probably just a sign-of-the-times subliminal money reference message to "spend money"
because thats what masons do .Symbols have multiple levels of understanding according to masonry , there is more than one reason for the symbols masons use . Like the dollar bill there are multiple levels of understanding depending on your level of knowledgeThere's already an explanation provided by the people at CBS who designed the symbol, though. Why reject that and replace it with one you made up?
The Ideographic Myth
The concept of ideographic writing is a most seductive notion. There is great appeal in the concept of written symbols conveying their message directly to our minds, thus bypassing the restrictive intermediary of speech. And it seems so plausible. Surely ideas immediately pop into our minds when we see a road sign, a death's head label on a bottle of medicine, a number on a clock. Aren't Chinese characters a sophisticated system of symbols that similarly convey meaning without regard to sound? Aren't they an ideographic system of writing? http://www.pinyin.info/readings/texts/ideographic_myth.html
The hidden meaning of Petroglyphs
Doç. Dr. Haluk BERKMEN
Petroglyphs are images created by removing part of a rock by carving or engraving. This term is made out two Greek words, “petros” (stone) and “gliphein” (to carve). The oldest petroglyphs are believed to be at least 10,000 years old but as they are carved on rocks the exact date cannot be determined by carbon-14 dating. Petroglyphs are also defined as “rock art” but the message that they convey is totally disregarded. This is because the meaning in these carvings is closely related to the beliefs of that forgotten period. Without knowing the belief system of these ancient people it is quite impossible to decipher the hidden meaning of the petroglyphs. In this chapter I will try to unravel the hidden meaning of petroglyphs.

I think as far as young kids the concept would be (if I was doing it anyway) to associate a symbol with a fun pleasant thing, like nickelodeon. or Disney.Never understood how symbols that most people don't have a conscious understanding of can influence them to do anything . . .
You mean they are taught a meaning through an association; I have fun when I see a Masonic symbol . . . so they hold no meaning without the taught association . . . OK . . . so we are being indoctrinated by subliminal and other subtle propaganda and marketing . . .I think as far as young kids the concept would be (if I was doing it anyway) to associate a symbol with a fun pleasant thing, like nickelodeon. or Disney.

Hmmmm. . . now I understand that concept . . . that bypasses all verbal and symbolic meanings and goes straight to the brain as a graphic symbol . . . LoL!!!hence the big breasted women when theyre trying to sell you something
But there's also nothing inherently wrong in being a mason, having a somewhat mystical reverence for geometry and liking (apparent) cosmic truths expressed easily in little symbols.
Hmmm . . . that makes more sense than raising awareness . . . but someone could get fired for something like that
Should be a very short thread.yea well we could debate the meaning of symbolism in logos and movies it would be a loooooong thread. CBS looks masonic to me .
it would also to help to actually watch the episodes and see what the context is.I think if we want any real truth on this subject, we would have to separate each image (by artist, presumably) and literally ask the person who drew it what their intentions were. Otherwise we're left with nothing but idle speculating.
The best way to go would be to separate them into 'intentional/unintentional'. If the image was unintentional, and it's just something that happened by chance, then no need to go any further. (Like the 666 in Walt Disney's signature...it's a stretch)
If the image was intentionally drawn in (like the word 'Illuminati' on the chalkboard in Zack & Cody...that didn't accidentally get scribbled there), then we would have to find out who drew it/wrote it, and ask them why.
Maybe some of these people have blogs on the Internet and have explained the reason they put some of this stuff in their work. Chances are we'll never know the answer to some of this.
That's a possibility too, but only if they fit in with the episode in some way. If not then it falls back on 'ask the artist'it would also to help to actually watch the episodes and see what the context is.
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode: The Friendship Team
Duck Tales: episode: Yuppy Duck
Suite Life Zack and Cody episode : Nugget of History
the 666 in the Disney logo is just silliness.
They almost always tie into the episode. google: I hate Barney. there was this crazy pervasive hatred of Barney amongst (ALL)adults back in the day and I think it was because they didn't weave in any adult jokes for those of us stuck watching. Sesame street is the worst for off colored jokes! the kids don't understand but the parents watching do. Good kid shows will add stuff for the adults to keep our brains from completely melting ; )That's a possibility too, but only if they fit in with the episode in some way.

Lost of humor in cartoons was aimed at adult intellectuals as 'inside jokes'.Hmmmm . . . Wow! That would be rather difficult unless 10 year olds and their babysitters are your targets . . . not only that . . . it would have to communicate in almost subliminal fashion to be effective . . .
Phineas & Ferb has some silly adult stuff...there was an episode where the sister was tripping on mushrooms...I remember an episode where they mentioned 'existentialist trading cards' (i'll trade you two Sartres for a Nietzsche! Stuck in my head) and I thought, 'yeah kids have no idea what that means.'They almost always tie into the episode. google: I hate Barney. there was this crazy pervasive hatred of Barney amongst (ALL)adults back in the day and I think it was because they didn't weave in any adult jokes for those of us stuck watching.

I hated Barney because if the insipid theme song and its assumption that my kid (part of their target demographic at the time) was a congenital idiot. As an aside, she saw someone in a Barney costume in the local mall. She screamed and ran in the other direction.They almost always tie into the episode. google: I hate Barney. there was this crazy pervasive hatred of Barney amongst (ALL)adults back in the day and I think it was because they didn't weave in any adult jokes for those of us stuck watching.

how about the CBS logo is that poking fun?
Funny story, for me my hatred towards Barney was because of my job. I worked on the beach in Pt Pleasant NJ for 5yrs during my summer breaks in High School, and freshman year of college. Right across from the gate I managed was a concession stand that played the barney song all day long, over and over and over again. I literally wanted to quit my job on several occasions because of that stand.I hated Barney because if the insipid theme song and its assumption that my kid (part of their target demographic at the time) was a congenital idiot.
