== Logo and imagery == [[File:Majesty (old name of Dream Theater) (logo).svg|thumb|right|upright|Dream Theater wordmark and "Majesty" symbol]] Despite the band being forced to change their name, Dream Theater adopted a custom [[logo]] (known as the ''Majesty symbol'') and [[Wordmark (graphic identity)|wordmark]], both of which have appeared on most of their promotional material. The Majesty symbol has been featured on the front cover of every Dream Theater studio album, while the wordmark appears on all except ''Falling into Infinity.'' The Majesty symbol is derived from [[Mary, Queen of Scots]]' mark,<ref>The mark used by [[Mary, Queen of Scots]], is available on [http://www.dreamtheater.net/pics/marysymb.jpg DreamTheater.net]. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725012406/http://www.dreamtheater.net/pics/marysymb.jpg |date=July 25, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marie-stuart.co.uk/images/sun%20embroidery.jpg |title=An embroidery showing the Mary, Queen of Scots, symbol in use |access-date=July 18, 2011}}</ref> which was re-worked by [[Charlie Dominici]] for use on the album artwork for ''[[When Dream and Day Unite]]''.<ref name="What is the 'symbol' DT use">{{cite web |url=http://faq.dtnorway.com/question?questionid=29 |title=What is the 'symbol' DT use? |website=Faq.dtnorway.com |date=November 7, 2003 |access-date=January 30, 2016 |archive-date=May 12, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140512215633/http://faq.dtnorway.com/question?questionid=29 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In September 2010, a fan of Dream Theater discovered that all of the letters of "DOMINICI" fit together perfectly into the Majesty symbol.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/jfdRfcCe_NM Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130320154858/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfdRfcCe_NM&gl=US&hl=en Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfdRfcCe_NM |title=What does Dream Theater, Majesty and Dominici have in common? |publisher=YouTube |date=September 13, 2010 |access-date=September 28, 2010}}{{cbignore}}</ref> When Charlie discovered this, he laughed and mentioned that "it only took them 25 years to figure out the 'Dominici Code!'"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dominici.com/forum/index.php?topic=421.0 |title=Someone finally figured out the "Dominici Code!" |publisher=DOMINICI.com Forum |date=September 28, 2010 |access-date=September 28, 2010}}</ref> This has earlier also been discovered as shown on the comment section of DTFAQ<ref name="What is the 'symbol' DT use" /> and in the DTNorway Podcast Episode 2 from 2008, with Charlie Dominici.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dtnorway.com/podcast.xml |title=Echo's Hill Podcast |publisher=DTNorway |access-date=July 18, 2011}}</ref>
