Jared says:

'For us, the name 30 Seconds To Mars has little to do with space, the universe or anything like that. It is a name that works on several different levels. Most importantly, it is a good representation of our sound. It's a phrase that is lyrical, suggestive, cinematic, and filled with immediacy. It has some sense of otherness to it. The concept of space is so overwhelming and all encompassing I doubt there is a song written that doesn't fall within it.'

'The name actually comes from a thesis that we found online it was written by a former Harvard professor. And one of the subsections of the thesis was titled 'thirty seconds to mars' and he goes on to talk about the expediential growth of technology that relates to humans and saying that we are quite literally thirty seconds to mars. what it means to us is, we thought it best described our music, in short.'

They are Ancient Hieroglyphics. And they probably represent the BAND'S NAME. This theory hasn't been confirmed though. This is one of the main interpretations of the symbols. When you translate Thirty Seconds to Mars in egyptian hieroglyphics it comes up as those symbols.

1st Symbol - Intertwined 3's standing for '30'.

2nd Symbol - Clock Hands pointing counterclockwise supposed to mean 'Seconds'.

3rd Symbol - An inverted Roman Numeral of 2 ('to').

4th Symbol - Drawing of Mars. the two dots represent Phobos and Deimos, Mars' moons.

The phoenix is a mythical bird that lives for 500 years, builds its own funeral pyre, is consumed by the flames, then rises anew from the ashes. This legend symbolizes the rising and setting of the sun, immortality, resurrection, and life after death. Like all good myths, it has a number of versions and many layers of interpretation. It appears in ancient Egyptian, Greek, Arabic, and Chinese mythology. American Indians have their version of the phoenix: the thunderbird, who is believed to be a powerful spirit in the form of a bird. Through its work, the earth is watered, and vegetation grows.

We think this is self-explanatory! ;)

It's a custom made McSwains Guitars model. It depicts the rising Gryphon (winged monster with an eagle-like head and body of a lion). Jared drew it for him and he captured it to a T. Check the site out and click on Blade and Paint for all the technical infos about the guitar!

The arrow is a visual representation for 'Provehito in Altum'. The progressive leap. 'Launch forth into the unknown'.

It is also the Norse rune for tyr/tiwaz [the Norse sky-god]

It means:
Honor, justice, leadership and authority. Analysis, rationality. Knowing where one's true strengths lie. Willingness to self-sacrifice. Victory and success in any competition or in legal matters. Tiwaz Reversed or Merkstave: One's energy and creative flow are blocked. Mental paralysis, over-analysis, over-sacrifice, injustice, imbalance. Strife, war, conflict, failure in competition. Dwindling passion, difficulties in communication, and possibly separation.
