Our Logo
The InterTerra Logo is an Ancient Celtic Cross, with a traditional unending knot or Eternity Knot, often referred to as the Circle of Life, featured in each quadrant of the Cross. These interlaced woven patterns of endless strands first appears in early copies of the Bible, like the Book of Kells.
This sacred form of geometry is thought to represent the interconnection of people and culture, the circular shape symbolizing the balance of energies from the four corners of the universe.
Vested with a magic and a spirit, the knots were believed to protect and enlighten, a wish we have for all of InterTerra's projects and partners.
Our History
InterTerra New Media's Founder, Thomas Crane is part of the Cryan Family, coming from the Counties of Sligo and Mayo in Western Ireland. Bartholomew "Batty" Cryan led the Cryan Family, as his brother Thomas Cryan immigrated to the US in the early 1920s, having his Cryan name changed to Crane upon arrival in the U.S., however then Thomas died early in his marriage shortly after the births of his five children. In Ireland, Batty was a soldier in the Irish Republican Army, during the 1921 War of Independence from Great Britain, as a member of the renowned West Mayo Brigade, featured in the National Museum of Ireland.
Thomas Cryan's son, Michael Crane (Thomas' father), became a solider who landed on D-Day at Utah Beach in 1944, as a member of the 294th Engineer Combat Battalion. Michael's Battalion marched across of Europe, as part of the forces liberating France and Germany, where he received the Bronze Star.
