We need to keep [[Britannia]] in mind where it says, "Early portraits of the goddess depict Britannia as a beautiful young woman, wearing the helmet of a Centurion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion, and wrapped in a white toga with her right breast exposed."
IIRC Britannica had an arrangement of the trident and shield in its logos before it adopted a thistle with which to nourish goats.
I wonder if the next edition of Britannica will have: "Early logos for Wikipedia depicted a young girl, of approximately seven years of age, buttocks exposed and seemingly yearning for the erect penis about to penetrate her".
That seems well within the tradition of a stiff upper labium. ;-)
