Some times it takes longer than an hour for people to respond... Please be patient.

As for the logo, if there is any significance behind it, I don't know of it.

It would be nice if you posted a picture of said logo. From your description, I cannot even venture to make a guess.

I might have found something.

The symbol which is in centre is a moon, so it should be Selune.
and WoTC's Selune's symbol (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/fp_gallery/fp1/Selune_symbol.jpg) shows Selune and six "stars", maybe tears of Selune ?

What do you think of it ?

Well I went and look up selune and found that she is the goddess that looks over all faerun.And that would make the logo make since the moon and stars symbol is above FR( you know the long version) which is faerun and she looks over it. so thats makes since.thanx

Honestly, I think that's all coincidental. I like Selūne -- she's one of my fave Realms deities. But I've not seen anything to indicate her prominence is such that it belongs on the logo.

I theorize that either:

a) The artist who created the logo added the cresent and stars simply to spice up the logo, or

b) it has some special significance for Ed, and it was his idea.

I tend to think it was the latter -- look how many times the moon pops up in areas created by Ed. This might be a question for him.
