EDIT The symbol was created in 1966 by the DOW Chemical Company employee Charles Baldwin. He used the distinctive shape of a triskele (triple spiral) in order to make the symbol instantly recognisable from all sides. Originally, the sign used to be bright orange-red. It's design was accompanied by marketing research that proved an extremely high level of recall.
