The winning entry was submiteed by Adept Stanfield K'wani. In his own words, the dark outer circle represents the dark times prophesied by Jerome Blake. The original drawing showed a star within the dark circle but the Primus modified it, removing all but two star points, leaving the rest as spokes circled in black. According to Toyama the star represents the light of mankind - technology and the enlightenment of Blake's words. Once the prophesies of Blake had been fulfilled the image would reclaim its star points.
The most striking aspect of the ComStar logo are the two star points. On the original design these were as they are now, elongated and pointing downward. According to designer Adept K'wani, "the point on the right of the image represents communications and the other represents technology, the two bases of ComStar's true source of power in the Inner Sphere."
