Look live in your fairy tale land

but Jimmy Page is a documented occultist who worshiped Alister Crowley who believed and practiced SEX MAGICK (the occult) OMFS!!! I think Jimmy's symbol is an ancient fixture or symbol for Saturn , the 6th planet , and many believe this ancient rune or symbol or Saturn to be where the word or idea of Satan came from definitely occult. But the other members symbols are really harmless

Answer 2

The four symbols each stand for a member of the band. The first 'zoso' symbol is Jimmy Page. He never really explained what it means, although he did say that he designed it himself, and that it wasn't actually meant to depict a word. The trinity symbol (a circle intersected by a triquetra) is John Paul Jones. It symbolizes a person who possesses both confidence and competence. The three rings is John Bonham. It is unclear what it is supposed to mean, although the symbol has been used to symbolize the trinity of man, wife, and child. The feather symbol is Robert Plant. It is the symbol of Mu, the 'lost continent', a legendary continent that, according to myth, used to exist in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Answer 3

They all represent a member of the band. They picked the symbols them selves to represent them. Jimmy Page's symbol, ZoSo, is probably the most famous one.
