According to Rudolf Koch, the Dragon's Eye is an ancient Germanic symbol.[1] The Dragon's Eye is an isosceles or equilateral triangle pointing downward, with a "Y" in the middle connecting the three points of the triangle together. According to Carl G. Liungman's Dictionary of Symbols, it combines the triangle meaning "threat" and the "Y" meaning a choice between good and evil.[2]
Games
The shape has been incorporated in the Ingress logo since its original public release in 2013[3]. According to the in-universe mythology, the triangle represents humanity (while the hexagon represents the "Shapers").[4]
Political use
The dragon's eye was used by the white nationalist organization Identity Evropa,[5] founded in 2016.
