I first saw a picture of this only a few weeks ago in a New Years fireworks display, it was from the left side, and I was amazed at this giant beautiful Q in the middle of London. It doesn't look like a draftsman compass either. Maybe if it were flat so the two supports were sticking up it would sort of look like a sundial, a little. All this symbol spotting is chicken little hysteria.
