Any ideas on how to improve this further? Hiding the table of content would content would be nice, but I can't remember how that's done.

I can't think of any other prominent uses of the seal at the moment. I know it's on the ready room podium, but that's really just a version of ship's seal.

Making a DVD screencap of the CIC logo (from "33") would be nice to get rid of the SkyOne logo. Then that can be placed at the top of the article, so you don't need to scroll down to get a picture. I can do that tomorrow if no one else gets around to it. Also cool would be a better picture of Galacticas hull seal, but the only good one I found is on the ZOIC schematics on ship's page. That would probably have to be a HD source though.

Personally, I think of the bird as a phoenix for some reason, but that's probably personal interpretation that doesn't belong here. --Serenity 16:47, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

Very good article. I'll see if I can get a better screencap for you to replace the one with the SkyOne logo. Also, to hide the table of contents, use __NOTOC__. I've already done it for this article, though. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 17:36, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
Ah. I knew it was something with noTOC, but I tried using braces like in templates. The seal is from the end of the credits I believe. If you don't want to, I can do it tomorrow. It's just a tad late for me to go around rummaging for my DVDs. --Serenity 17:43, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
The cap in question (because I believe I was actually the one who captured it), is going to be exclusive to the Season 1 episodes, at the end of the opening credits. Regardless, if I don't get to it, you're more than welcome to fix it. ;-) -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 18:56, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
Note: I remember capturing one like it. No matter. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 18:57, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

Egyptian symbolism[edit]

I'm not too familiar with the Original Series. Is there such a seal like this in the Original Series? If there is, then that can defiantly be another connection to Egyptian mythology and symbolism, such as the pryamid-shaped buildings in Caprica... Just a thought. And if there is no such seal in the Original Series... Nevermind! :P -- Veepz 23:34, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

I don't think it's really from TOS, but it would fit. It's just that the feathers really do look a lot like flames. --Serenity 04:36, 7 August 2007 (CDT)
They certainly do. Personally, I have no doubt that it's the Phoenix; looks too much like one... Could be a good one to ask Bradley Thompson about. -- Veepz 05:04, 7 August 2007 (CDT)
