IDIC
- The IDIC is an
ornamental piece of jewelry worn either in pin
or pendant form by Vulcan First Officer Spock
(Leonard Nimoy) on the sci-fi series STAR
TREK/NBC/1966-69. The IDIC is the most revered
Vulcan symbol, (combining variations in texture,
shape and color) representing the Planet
Vulcan's philosophy "Infinite Diversity in
Infinite Combinations" that embraced the
tolerance of all peoples and ideas to help
create a society that is greater than the sum of
its own parts. The IDIC symbol is a circle and
triangle of white and yellow gold metals resting
upon each other and adorned with a white jewel.
The Star Trek Encyclopedia explains the IDIC as "Acronym for
Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations," a
cornerstone of the Vulcan philosophy. Spock wore
an IDIC medallion to the shipboard dinner in
honor of Dr. Jones. (Episode "Is There in Truth
no Beauty?").
TRIVIA NOTE: The triangle-circle IDIC pendant was designed by
Gene Roddenberry, the creator of the Star
Trek empire .
