I just cut & pasted this regarding how the UN symbol came to be:
The UN map was created for the first summit meeting to form the UN. They wanted a symbol that represented the uniting of nations and figured that it would probably become a permanent symbol for the UN.
In the beginning it was centered over America because America hosted the meeting and it only included the northern hemisphere because only northern hemisphere nations were involved. As it grew and more nations became involved it was decided to move it to a North Pole centered flag that included all of the nations.
The map was created to represent the uniting of several nations. It has changed, as those nations have changed to now include to the world.
it was a symbol that had to fit on a coin, hang on a wall, and be a flag
the symbol had to be flat, not the world.
it is a symbol of the united nations, it is not a map of the world
a secret, yet right in front of the entire world clue of a massive conspiracy
it is a symbol that changed as its member nations have changed…that is all
