Unitarian Universalist Chalice Symbol - Meaning and History #1530262 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-and-white logo depicts a stylized chalice with a rising flame, enclosed by two concentric circles-representing the interconnectedness of humanity and the sacred. Originally designed in 1940 by Hans Deutsch for the Unitarian Service Committee, it has since become the central emblem of Unitarian Universalism worldwide. The design conveys themes of hope, sacrifice, and shared search for meaning.
