Early emblem of Dacia Cultural Society, a Romanian nationalist club founded in Bistrița/Beszterce in 1909. The central design is a VCFD monogram, for the Latin slogan Vivat, crescat, floreat Dacia! ("May Dacia live, grow and flourish!"). The emblem was initially plain, with no additional colors; it incorporated the Romanian tricolor after Bistrița joined Greater Romania in 1918, with the new design being used until 1940, when Northern Transylvania was re-annexed to Hungary, and the Society disbanded. See images and context in Vasile Ilovan, "Societatea culturală 'Dacia'", File de Istorie, Vol. V, 1988, pp. 147–159
