The triangle (Delta) symbol has long been associated with heat or fire.
The triangle symbol representation of heat or fire, etymologically, seems to trace back to early Greek philosophers, and their 1,000 BC analysis of heat released from volcanoes in relation to the heat of the sun.
One of the earliest documented uses of the triangle shape representation for heat, fire, or warmth traces back to the Greeks. The Greek classical elements are:
And before that to ancient Egypt proto-scientists, with their 5,000 BC thoughts on the birth of the sun out of tips of pyramids.

The Greeks, beginning in 1,800 BC, later re-incorporated this pyramid sun-birth logic with the phenomenon of heat-fire (lava) release in local island volcanic eruptions.
To explain these various types of natural heats, Empedocles says that many fires burn beneath the earth, that the solar fire was born in the bowels of the earth, and that volcanic fire shoots to the heavens and licks the stars.
In modern chemistry, when written over a reaction arrow, signifies that a chemical reaction occurs with the addition of heat or energy, such as shown below: Reaction with heat symbol Can mean "heat", if written over a reaction arrow

In 1825, Scottish physicist James Forbes contributed papers to the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal anonymously under the signature "Δ", likely in being a pseudonym for a person who is interested in heat. Between 1836 and 1844 he published in the Trans. Roy. Soc. Ed. four series of "Researches on Heat".
In the 1850s, the "θ∆ics" symbol was used, by William Thomson, James Maxwell, and Peter Tait, as shorthand for the newly forming science of thermo-dynamics.

When the logo is used, it should be sufficiently isolated from illustrations or other words or images that might detract from the signature’s importance. The logo must be at least 30% of the logo mark away from illustrations, photographs, rules, page edges, or other type.
