The symbol of DKA is described as which of the following?

• A. A Lantern
• B. A Film Projector
• C. An Open Book
• D. Film Camera

Answer: (D)

The symbol is chosen to embody the heart of filmmaking—the tool that captures moving images and drives the art and craft of cinema. A film camera represents creation, storytelling through visuals, and the technical skill involved in cinematography, which are central to Delta Kappa Alpha’s focus on the film arts and industry.

While a lantern evokes light and atmosphere, a film projector highlights playback rather than creation, and an open book signals study, none of these capture the active process of making film in the way a camera does. The film camera best conveys DKA’s identity as a professional fraternity dedicated to the art and craft of cinema.
