The simplicity of the Istanbul Stock Exchange emblem merits a moment of contemplation. The spherical shape has obvious worldly significance, whilst the lower horizontal line depicts Turkey’s position between the 36th and 42th parallel. The upper curved line is representative of the bridging of the continents, Europe and Asia, with the bold white line connecting the North and South poles indicating the ‘I’ of Istanbul. The overall background colour of turquoise has always been recognised as the traditional colour of the Turkish people.
