Hate to ruin a wonderful illusion, from today's perspective however Lech Walesa seems more like a facade for a complicated political power play going at that time in Poland...

Until Leonard comments I guess we are just guessing.

I do like the idea of a recognition of his recent successful years and the idea that it may be designed to ward off the evil eye - for Leonard and all who carry the logo.

"The most popular method of escaping the evil eye’s effects in many cultures is by the use of evil eye talismans, evil eye symbols, and evil eye jewelry. These are meant to “reflect” the power of the evil look. The evil eye amulet originated in Greece, where it was known as an “apotropaic” amulet, meaning that it reflected harm. - See more at: http://www.jewishgiftplace.com/What-is- ... qioai.dpuf "

He deserves some good luck at last.

Or maybe it is new beginning with a new outlook, free from the 'black dog', that opens the way for less looking inward and more outward gaze.

A fact that probably doesn't really matter here, but should appear in this thread:
http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/gr-at-yd.html#fla
According to the book Hellenic flags [k7k97], the flag designed in Hydra during the Greek War of Independence is blue with a red border, a white crescent, cross and spear with a red flag charged with Athena's head flying from the spear; a white anchor upside down, "fouled" by a green snake and a yellow owl biting the snake; and a quarter of a yellow sun, with a blue disc and the eye of God in white, in the upper left corner.
The black writing "Η ΤΑΝ Η ΕΠΙ ΤΑΣ 1821" is added on the crescent.
