The Canadian Bank of Commerce Logo
The first logo of The Canadian Bank of Commerce was the caduceus, an ancient Egyptian symbol that came to be associated with Mercury (Hermes), the god of commerce. The symbol consists of a rod with two snakes twisted round it, surmounted by two small wings. The rod represents power, the serpents represent wisdom, and the two wings represent diligence and activity. This logo was widely used on stationery, bank forms, passbooks, annual reports and bank buildings.
