Is it an 8 or an infinity symbol?



So let us start by looking at the actual logo. Capital NO, what appears to be the number 8, and capital DO.

The capital letters are definitely what they appear but it is the 8 in the middle that makes for a fuller meaning. So, is it the number 8 or is it maybe an infinity symbol. No. It is actually representative of a skein of wool. You may be asking, what is a skein of wool? Well according to www.feedictinary.com it is defined as- a length of thread or yarn wound in a loose long coil. 
Seen at the street car station.
Skein of wool.
Now the translation of skein into Spanish is- madeja. So put together is is NO-madeja-DO. Okay so fine it means No skein of wool do? Not likely. When you say it all quickly and with the lovely Andalusian accent it actually sounds more like-"No me ha dejado," meaning... "She has not abandoned me". This is the motto of Sevilla. Why? 

Stay tuned as I continue my research........
