This was created on Adobe Illustrator. The lettering is kind of hard to read so here it is: the words circling the globe read, 'The power of words can change the fortune of the world;' the lettering on the base (the wheel of fortune which shows the four stages of man from infancy to death) reads, 'Quod scripsi, scripsi,' which translates (I think) as 'What I have written, I have written;' and 'Fortuna Illuminet Viam Tuam', the phrase on the banner, translates as, ' Let fortune light your way.'
