Nazz Mariani  developed the logo in the early to mid 1970s as teaching tool. It is a symbolic way to represent the forces imparted on the ball by the golf swing.

The Top Arrow represents the bottom force generated by the golf swing. The bottom force pushes the ball to the right for a right handed player. The bottom force is anchored by the ground and includes the forces generated by the legs and hips. This is known as the hip movement.

The Center Arrow represents the target line of the ball which is the result of the top force and the bottom force working together.

The Bottom Arrow represents the top force. The Top Force pushes the ball to the left for a right handed player. The top force is generated by the club, and upper body, excluding the head. This is known as Free Flow

The dot represents the thigh muscle in the front leg. This is the Quad and is part of the bottom force but is important enough to have special mention.  The Quad force produces the final upward thrust of the body at follow through.

Free Flow + Hip Movement + Quad = Strong Straight Shot

For many years the logo was purposely shown on golf shirts upside down and backwards so the player looking down would see the logo correctly. This gave Edgmont members a quick reminder about the swing theory and a distinct advantage on the course.
