למה בכלל סמלים?
למה דווקא אלו?
מה מסמל כל סמל?
או במילים אחרות, מישהו יודע את הסיפור מאחוריהם?

After the beating Led Zeppelin took from the press, Jimmy Page, guitarist and founder of the group, decided the next album would have no mention of the band on it whatsoever. It would be the music that mattered. But Page new better. No mention of the band at all, not even on the inside of the original album release. All that would be visible would be 4 symbols. Each band member would pick his own symbol to represent himself.

The feather in the circle for that "one member" is the symbol Robert Plant, singer, chose. It's a sign of peace taken from an ancient stone carving.

Here's a rundown of what is known about all 4 symbols:

SYMBOLS:
ROBERT PLANT (vocals)
The feather in the circle is Robert Plants symbol and is an old book called "The Sacred Symbols of Mu." Robert Plant explains; "My symbol was drawn from the ancient Mu civilization, which existed about 15,000 years ago as part of a lost continent somewhere in the Pacific Ocean somewhere between China and Mexico. All sorts of things can be tied in with the Mu civilization, even the Easter Island effigies. These Mu people left stone tablets with their symbols inscribed into them all over the place..in Mexico, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, China and other places, and they all date from the same time period! The feather, a symbol on which all sorts of philosophies have been based and which has a very interesting heritage. For instance, it represents courage to many Red Indian tribes...I like people to lay down the truth.
No bullshit. That's what the feather in the circle is all about."

JOHN PAUL JONES (bass, keyboards, guitar)
Jones' symbol is the 3 ovals interlocking a circle and is from the same era thought to represent unity and family. It is also thought to represent a person who is confident and competent because it was difficult to draw accurately. If you take away the circle, it becomes the religious symbol for the trinity (father, son, holy ghost).

JOHN BONHAM (percussion)
Bonham's symbol is the three interlocking circles. Robert Plant once stated that he always thought it meant the trilogy; man, woman and child, but also observed it was also the emblem of Ballantine beer.

JIMMY PAGE: (guitar)
No one knows what it means as he's not told anyone and doesn't plan to. But I do know it was made by him and is probably a mixture of three, or more, ancient symbols or runes. Robert Plant said that ".. Jimmy pulled me aside in 1975 and said, 'I'm only going to tell you this once,,' and proceeded to tell me the meaning of his symbol.
"Since than I've forgotten what he said and now Pagey won't tell me!"
