3 leaf clover?
« on: September 12, 2012, 06:27:28 AM »
Does anyone know what the 3 leaf clover stands for or where it started or anything about it? It intrudes me. I think it's a clover anyway. Resembles it. STP used it in there background at their concert. TIA

Just one of their unofficial logos.  I believe it first appeared on the Shangri CD cover.  Personally I love it and it represents STP to me.  As far as I know there is no meaning behind it.

Q: What is the 'Shangri-LA DEE DA' fleuron?

A: Matt, webmaster for STP's official website, spoke with the Art Director for the album, Greg Sylvester and had him give the information on the album cover since many fans were asking. Here is the "mystery" behind it all: "that was a conceptual idea of mine, and it just seemed to match the concept of the bright and tropical flavor. it's called a fleuron, and it's based on an old wood cut from the 16th century." Thanks to EverRockin we also have a link to an original image: Rare Books Studio.

Id say its actually the official logo of STP.

If its not, then why would they repeat it on the self titled album?

Its also the first choice for an STP tattoo :D

Im getting my fleuron soon!

I hope they make the fleuron a tradition for future albums.
