All of these symbols were used on the show Roswell or on the official WB website the Silver Handprint (now defunct). I have redrawn the symbols to use as chapter headings for my story, but if you are interested in where they originally came from or their original meaning, this is the place.

Orbit Pictogram

We are never told exactly what this symbol is or means on the show. Although it obviously depicts the orbits of planets around a sun, the
question is what solar system does it represent?

It has been argued that the pictogram represents our solar system. It does have the same number of planets and a prominent ringed
planet but if you study it closely, the planets would be out of order.

I believe that the pictogram represents the Antarian system. It shows five planets approximately the same distance from the sun and we know from the Royal seal and the summit that there are five inhabited planets in the Antarian system.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~



It is seen in the visions of the symbols in the desert that the podsters have.





It is also seen in Nasedo’s cave painting





And of course in Max’s drawing of the cave painting





I thought the symbol of the solar system would be appropriate for the part of the story were the Antarians are coming to Earth and settling on an alien world.











U.F.L.

The U.F.L. or Universal Friendship League is the fraternal organization the skins founded to cover their activities. It is based in Copper Summit, AZ and is first introduced in the season 2 episode "Harvest."

The U.F.L. symbol was never used on the show, that I am aware of. The symbol was introduced on the Silver Hand Print web site as the icon leading to Whitaker's diary entries and if the symbol was meant to have a meaning beyond that, we were never told.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~




I used the U.F.L. symbol for skins section of the story, of course.











F.B.I.

This symbol never appears on the show, to my knowledge.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~


It only appeared on the Silver Hand Print web site as a link for the FBI.



I used this symbol for this part of the story because I liked the symbol and I didn't have anything else.











Four Square

It is made clear on the show that this symbol represents the four pods that the aliens emerged from, the four square or Royal Four.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~


On the Silver Hand Print website the symbol was used for a link to the dupe’s pages.





















I know that the Four Square is used for the dupes in the show and on the Silver Hand Print web site but the dupes are not the real Royal Four. I thought that the real Royal Four deserved to use it more.











Circles in a Broken Square

This symbol is never seen on the show, to my knowledge.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~


It is only on the Silver Hand Print web site, as the link for media.





I know that the Four Square is used for the dupes in the show and on the Silver Hand Print web site but the dupes are not the real Royal Four. I thought that the real Royal Four deserved to use it more.

So I used the Media symbol from the Silver Hand Print for the dupes because it has a larger and a smaller circle and in my mind could depict the separating of the dupes from the real Royal Four in the cloning process.











Two Triangles & Two Circles forming a Triangle

This symbol is never seen on the show.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~


It is only on the Silver Hand Print web site, as the link for media.





It is also seen in teaser ads.





I used this symbol for this part of the story because it shows different shapes making up a whole and that is exactly how I see Liz and Max's relationship in this part of the story.











Ringed Planet Pictogram

We are never told exactly what this symbol is or means on the show.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~


It appeared on the Silver Hand Print web site as a link for the Prom. But somehow I doubt that is what the symbol meant on the show.





It also appears in teaser ads.





It is seen in the visions of the symbols in the desert that the podsters have.





It is also seen in Nasedo’s cave painting





And of course in Max’s drawing of the cave painting





It is also the symbol that Michael and Isabel burn into the ground at the library and then Nasedo burns the same symbol.
Obviously the symbol is marking the place on the map where the "destiny" book was found





It appears on the cover of the “destiny” book so it could mean knowledge or history.





I kind of decided that this symbol means knowledge and I thought it was appropriate to
use for this part of the story that exposes so much that was unknown.











Six-armed Swirly Thing

This symbol never appears on the show, to my knowledge.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~


It was only on the Silver Hand Print web site as a link to the allies pages.






It also appeared in teaser ads.





I always thought that the symbol looked like a worm hole or time tunnel
so I thought it was appropriate for this part of the story.











Mountain

We are never told exactly what this symbol is or means on the show. But it appears to depict the rock formation where the pods and Granolith were housed.





~*~*~*~*~*~*~


It is seen in the visions of the symbols in the desert that the podsters have.





It is also seen in Nasedo’s cave painting





And of course in Max’s drawing of the cave painting





I assume that this symbol represents the Granolith chamber and since so much of season two focused on the translation of the book and going home, not to mention the culmination of the season saw the destruction of the mountain, I decided the mountain symbol was an appropriate representation.











Antarian Royal Seal

On the show we are told that this is the Royal Seal of Antar.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~


It appears on the show in season one in various visions and dreams.





Tess tells them it is the astrologic trigger that activates the podsters sex drives.





It is also seen in Nasedo’s cave painting where the healing stones fit.





It is stenciled on Max’s brain.





Rath explains that it represents the five world of their system.





I used this symbol for the last book because the Royal Four are coming into their destiny
and reclaiming their positions and lives and I thought it was appropriate to symbolize that with the Royal Seal.











Infinity Eye

Okay, so this symbol was never used in this form in the show. I altered it to look how I wanted.
But the infinity symbol was used in the show.

There is never a definition or explanation of what the infinity symbol means on the show. It could simply be a letter, number or pictogram.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The infinity symbol (or something close to it) is found in the destiny book.





It is also seen in the visions of the symbols in the desert that the podsters have.





It is also seen in Nasedo’s cave painting





And of course in Max’s drawing of the cave painting





The symbol also was used in the opening credits of season 3.





In our world, of course infinity means forever, or more correctly, never-ending.

The single, centered eye is symbolic of the all-seeing eye (no I am not referring to Sauron the Dark Lord from the Lord of the Rings Movies). The all-seeing eye or third eye is associated with wisdom, intuition and even prognostication.



You may have seen this pic that I use. I added the two eyes on either side but the infinity symbol and what looks like an eye in the center is actually a naturally occurring nebula. This is where I got the inspiration.

It seemed appropriate to use for this part of the story because the past is being revealed.











Swirl Symbol

We are never told exactly what this symbol is or means on the show but it is by far the most used of all the symbols.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~


It is on the necklace from their world that Isabel finds at Atherton's house.





Isabel and Max both remembered the symbol before that when they drew it in the sand.





It is seen in Nasedo’s cave painting.





Of course it is in Max’s drawing of the painting.





It appears on the show in season one in various visions and dreams.





It is the symbol that Nasedo leaves for the podsters in Frazier Woods.





The symbol is on the communication orb.





Nasedo also sends the same symbol to lure Pierce to him.





It also appears on the countdown timer in the Granolith chamber.





It also appears on the Granolith itself when Tess leaves in it.





Since we were never told the exact meaning of this symbol and it is by far the most used,
I decided, for the purpose of my story, that it was the symbol of Antar
and so I used as the Antar chapter heading.
