The logo is his Chinese "chop" (stamp). I think it is his name or initials in Chinese. Hope this helps

Hello Dennis, hello Dexter, I have read the same thing. The Chinese symbols represent Al Mars name ( actually I think it is more than just his name that it represents, if I remember correctly it has spiritual overtones) Well thats my take. Ya'll have a nice day now, hear.
Thanks,

Its Al Mar's Chinese name written in ancient style "seal script" This script is often used in "chops" which function like signitures. The characters I think are R to L:
Ma Guo Sun (at least I think its "Sun")
"Ma" (or "Mar" in Cantonese--a southern chinese dialect) is a common surname meaning "horse" (far right character on logo/chop)
"Guo" (not sure what the Cantonese is) means
"country" and is sort of a middle or generation name (ie all his siblings may have that as a middle name too so that people can identify that generation in the family--upper left character on logo/chop)
Not sure what that "Sun" character means or if it even really is a "Sun" character but its sort of the first name. Its not the equivalent of "Al" though (Lower left character)
A lot of Chinese-Americans have both American and Chinese names that may or may not have anything to do w/each other meaning wise.

Agree with booshank.
That's a Chinese name and I can read it.

Left down character stands for "woods" or "forest". Ritht "Ma" is last name, and left two characters is his first name, reading from top to down.
I don't think all of "Alfred Clark Mar" is represented on the stamp except "Mar".
