Hi myrth, welcome to the forum, you should enjoy your visits here - like the handle BTW.

If you're talking about the symbol taken from Jon's first solo album, Olias of Sunhillow, I think the illustration and all the design work were done by an artist called Dave Roe. It's a terrific gatefold/booklet LP. I've no idea what became of this very talented bloke - anyone else know more?

I will have to look through my Opio Foundation stuff to see if I can find anything else about the art. When you join up they send you a cool temporary tattoo with the Olias symbol. I haven't used mine yet but it's awesome to look at.

Haven't forgotten about this, just haven't found my stuff yet. Wow, what a mess my house is! Hopefully I will find it here in a few days.

Michele, what kind of stuff do you get when you join the Opio foundation? I have often wondered . . .

You get a package of information about Jon (of course), a couple reproductions of his paintings, some past newsletters (even info on Divine Mother), and a really cool temporary tattoo with the Olias symbol. If memory serves there was also a booklet with the Olias story that may have gone into more detail than the album cover.

There is a Yahoo group of Opio Foundation members that's also pretty interesting, but not very active.

On a pillgramage to the Yes members houses back in the eighties
I went to Seer Green to Jon's house where he recorded Olias
There as i rudly pulled up at his drive was the recording studio as pictured on the album
To the left was an amazing enomous house.
I had to knock on the door so i could speak to my IDOL.
Jon had moved three week's ago to Kensington London.
Who answerd the door you might ask?
None other than the old rocking chair rocker
