The symbol used by the Gideons who distribute Bibles in many places throughout the world is the pitcher with a lamp within. It is taken from the account of Gideon in the book of Judges. Gideon won a battle against the Midianites partly because they had lamps concealed in pitchers which were broken at the last minute at the moment of attack. As God had orchestrated the victory the pitcher is a symbol of God's Word being the 'sword of the' Lord' in all its power. Also Gideon was willing to be used by God.

Do Gideons believe God is Jesus?
The Gideons are not actually a denomination of Christianity, but a Christian organization officially called "Gideons International" whose mission is to spread the word of God by handing out Bibles to people who might never otherwise encounter it. So the Gideons don't have specific beliefs (like whether Jesus is completely God or if he was something else) and can come from a variety of denominations. However, most Christians do believe that Jesus is God, so most Gideons are probably going to believe that, too. I hope that answered your question.
