The Red Lantern symbol

I think it's the first red lantern. As the Guardians have said "the powers of the emotional spectrums are being harnessed." This would imply that that red lantern is the first...as well as the others that have yet to come into existence.

I'm not doubting it's the first Red Lantern. But did Atrocitus just sit down one day at a workbench with a blowtorch and make it? I doubt that...

I thought the red lantern symbol was merely the GL symbol on it's side with a few extra points.

The symbol to me looks exactly like the CPB type Lantern shown in GL #25 for the RL's. About the only symbols without any real connection are for Hope, Compassion, and Greed.

With the demons of Ysmault being well....demons, Atrocitus could have just conjured up a red lantern from hell or some otherworldly infernal realm. Trigon could be his Guardian or something..

I'm imagining an "A-Team" type of montage as Atrocitus cobbles together his lantern...

My impression has been that aside from the Star Sapphires', the symbols are stylized drawings of power batteries from different angles. GL is full-on front. Blue is from the side (maybe top-down with the handle in view), Yellow is top-down and Red is about 45 degrees inclined front. Indigo and orange will probably follow this pattern. However, the Controllers, like the Zamarons, are an off-shoot of the Guardians and so the OL symbol may be dredged up from previous Controllers history. It is reminiscent of the Dark Star symbol on Ferrin Colos as seen on the Darkstars issue 1 cover.

Yes she is. I wonder if she'll be a GL again though by the time Blackest Night is over.

Ivan Drago has no need of a power ring. Whatever he hits...he destroys!
