This black-and-white line drawing depicts the classic Masonic symbol: a square and compasses intersecting to form a diamond shape, with the letter “G” centered within. The square represents morality and right conduct, the compasses symbolize self-restraint and spiritual boundaries, while the “G” stands for both Geometry-the foundational science of Freemasonry-and God, the Great Architect of the Universe. The design is universally recognized among fraternal lodges and reflects core Masonic values of truth, brotherhood, and enlightenment.
