FIRST Logo Inspiration

I know I've seen a youtube video that explains why the FIRST Logo is the way it is. How the triangle-circle-square relate to the volumes of cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres.
Does anybody have a link to that video? (You can save your Rickrolls and John Cenas on this one)

Sorry, Taylor, but you asked for it. Save means to reserve something for later, not to discard it entirely.

Re: FIRST Logo Inspiration



Even though the inspiration is not from Aikido I think the parallels are cool.
The triangle, circle and square are important symbols in Aikido - which as a non-aggressive martial art is a whole lot like gracious professionalism.
