標誌源自 Meshtastic 專案標誌，並透過四個部分延伸，將識別深化為兼具台灣地理、方向與人文的象徵景觀。
每一部分皆承載不同層次的意義，使標誌不僅是圖像，更是一套敘事系統。
- 六條山脈
象徵五條縱貫全台的山脈 — 中央山脈、雪山山脈、玉山山脈、阿里山山脈、海岸山脈 以及 大屯火山彙； 代表 領航、清晰、穩健，作為標誌性地景特徵，構成標識的骨架，並寓意 Meshstatic 節點提供穩固基礎。
- 島嶼與海岸
象徵台灣的「外離島」、最高峰「玉山主峰」與「本島」東西南北海岸； 代表 探索、追求與全方位，展現均衡、堅韌，以及不斷追求巔峰的精神。
- 六條河川
象徵台灣六條主要河川 — 濁水溪、高屏溪、淡水河、大甲溪、曾文溪、烏溪（大肚溪）。 代表 連續、聯繫、活力，寓意 Meshstatic 網絡如同流經整個台灣地景的大動脈，連接山脈、地形與市鎮。
- 六種地形
象徵台灣五大地形： 山地、丘陵、臺地、盆地、平原 以及 特殊地形（火山地形、峽谷地形等）； 代表 基礎、穩定與過渡，連結高峰與平原，呈現多樣地勢，並連接周邊自然與人文區域。
- 六座都會
象徵台灣六都 台北、新北、桃園、台中、台南、高雄 — 承載標誌中的人文與社會層面。 代表 組織、協作與交流，讓標誌不僅寓意自然地景，也藴意資訊與互動匯聚的 Meshstatic 網絡。
四個部分將識別轉化為多層次的象徵地景。每一部分涵蓋自然與文化的平衡 — 島嶼與高峰、山脈與地形、河流與市鎮、方位與流動 — 最終凝聚為一個整體，象徵 追求、堅韌與共同進步。
The brandmark derives from the Meshtastic Project logo and evolves into a symbolic landscape structured into four interconnected sections. This framework extends the identity beyond a visual mark, embedding layers of meaning that reflect geography, orientation, and community.
- The Islands, the Highest Peak, and the Coasts
This section embodies exploration, aspiration, and orientation, encompassing Formosa versus the Outlying Islands, the Highest Peak - Mt. Jade Main Peak, and the North-West-South-East regions and coasts, reflecting a balanced sense of guidance, resilience, and the pursuit of summits.
- Six Mountain Ranges
Six symbolic mountain ranges — Alishan Range, Central Mountain Range (Chungyang Range), Hai'an Range (Coastal Range), Hsueshan Range, Yushan Range and Tatun Volcanoes — form the backbone of the landscape. They represent guidance, prominence, and reliance, serving as landmarks of the landscape of Taiwan, forms the backbone of the brandmark, and symbolizing the Meshtatic nodes provides a solid foundation.
- Six Topographies
Six symbolic topographies — Mountains, Land Hills, Plateaus, Basins, Plains, and special landforms (e.g. volcanoes, groges, etc.). They embody foundation, stability, and transition, ridging high peaks with lower plains, showcasing varied terrain and connecting the surrounding natural and cultural areas.
- Six Riveres
Six major river— Zhuoshui River (Danum Qalavang, Himeou ci Chumu), Kaoping River, Tamsui River, Dajia River (Llyung Tmali), Zengwen River, and Wu River (Dadu River) — meanders through the landscape of Taiwan.
They symbolise continuity, connectivity, and vitality, embodying the Meshtastic network as arteries flowing through the landscape of Taiwan, connecting mountains, topographies, and municipalities.
- Six Municipalities
The six Special Municipalities — Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsuing — anchor the cultural and social dimension of the mark.
They stand for organisation, cooperation, and community exchange, bringing a human scale into the broader landscape. Through these six nodes, the brandmark becomes not only a natural geography but also a living network of people and cultural interaction.
The sections above translate the brandmark into a multi-layered geography of symbols. Each part represents natural and cultural elements in balance — islands and peaks, ranges and rivers, topographies and municipalities, orientation and continuity — ultimately unifying into a single mark of aspiration, resilience, and shared progress.
