Best I’ve heard is that it is signifying a nuclear missile hitting the “heart of the crescent”, Mecca.

(Of course, Muslims would find this deeply offensive, so would demand that the logo be changed. heh.)

Logos are redesigned all the time to bring them more in line with current morays.

At least I pronounced it right.

Mores (English pronunciation: /ˈmɔreɪz, -iz, ˈmoʊr-/, singular mos) is the Latin term for societal norms, customs, virtues or values. Mores derive from the established practices of a society rather than its written laws. They consist of shared understandings about the kinds of behavior likely to evoke approval, disapproval, toleration or sanction, within particular contexts.
