Symbolism
Badge
The shape of the badge alludes to the European tradition of female armigers displaying their arms on a lozenge rather than a shield. It also suggests a vintage radio loop antenna, a reference to her involvement in amateur radio. Its four points recall a compass rose, a reference to the motto. The thin line around the diamond represents a Taekwondo black belt (for Ms. Perry’s proficiency in that martial art); a picture frame (for her interest in photography); and the cover slip of a microscope slide (for her profession as a medical laboratory technologist).
