Eden Keeper

Genesis 2:15
About the Eden Keeper Logo

     The Eden Keeper logo incorporates numerous symbols tied to various Judeo-Christian traditions, starting with the setting of the name inspiring Bible verse, And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Genesis 2:15.  The etemology of paradise is Persian for walled garden, therefore, gardens were typically walled.  The wall in the logo is viewed perspectively from directly overhead, and has opened gates positioned so that the four points of the cross are superimposed, which lead to the choice of a portrait aspect ratio rather than landscape.  The gateposts are topped with pyramids considering the direct link with Egypt, and colored red reminiscent of the blood being sprinkled on the doorpost during the Passover.  The four rivers that originate from the Garden of Eden, see Genesis 2:10, are shown as the four logarithmic spirals constructed using the Fibonacci sequence, which is used for setting the size of as many objects in the logo as possible, thus giving proportions approximating the Golden Ratio, 1:1.618...  If the two lower logoarithmic spirals are extended by another two segments they would cross each other three times and end at the upper inside corners of the garden, therefore, each spiral has the next to last segement removed and the last segment is truncated at the intersection point to created an equilateral Gothic arch  representing the sky and/or heaven.  A Christian  fish symbol is figuratively swimming upstream in one a river where would be facing to the left.  A Tree of Life bearing twelve types of fruit grows in the garden.  Most of the fruits are a mix of Biblically referenced and/or traditional fruits, while one (cherry) is representative of the genus Prunus that includes almonds and apricots, and the rest are species native to North America.  Going from left to right up and over the tree these fruits are grape, pomegranate, elderberry, cherry, beaked filbert (hazelnut), fig, mulberry, paw paw, olive, carob (locust/husk), blueberry, and apple.  The Tree of Life has a pyramidal form like a Christmas tree, which is topped with a Star of David that also evokes the Star of Bethlehem.
