hmmmm
Well, if I squint my eyes and get really, REALLY close to the monitor ... the little androgenous stick-person (with a fat bum) looks like they're kneeling and holding a tape measure taut between outstretched arms, with the free end of the tape dangling to the right. The balancing act depicted above it ... hmmm, there's a term for it in Physics that eludes me at the moment. But the principle has been used in sculpture where it seems precariously out of balance ... yet the center of gravity remains such that the whole object is in fact, perfectly balanced.
I think it's a totally kewl symbol of "weigh and measure"
But I could be wrong, I still haven't finished my coffee yet.
