The Emblem
The emblem of the Istanbul Stock Exchange is based on a turquoise-coloured globe symbolizing the Earth, with a horizontal line representing Turkey’s position between the 36th and 42nd parallel. The upper curved line is meant to symbolize the bridging of the continents Europe and Asia, while the thick vertical line suggests the "I" of Istanbul. Turquoise is associated with the Turkish people.

“This idea is more surely understood by interrogation; WHAT DO I KNOW? which I bear as my motto with the emblem of a pair of scales.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“I had often stood on the banks of the Concord, watching the lapse of the current, an emblem of all progress, following the same law with the system, with time, and all that is made ... and at last I resolved to launch myself on its bosom and float whither it would bear me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
