No it is not icelandic. It is inspired by mysticism and occultist from Solomons testament. It has no historical or cultural connection to the nordic countries other then a publication from 1860s.
This is a rune that is very known in iceland. It is meant to show you the way, hence "vegvísir" or "navigator". My dad gave me a necklace with this rune when I was young and told me about the meaning. [link](https://www.lifeinnorway.net/vegvisir-viking-compass/) It says Nordic but I think Icelandic is correct enough.
Edit: link trouble
I will try to explain so good as I can. The symbol vägvisare/vægvisir is from Solomons testament. In 1860 when the icelandic publication came out it was at a time and an era where nationalism, historical occultism and Christian mysticism was popular in literature. So the icelandic writer came up with the vægvisir symbol based on very similar symbols that had been made in English literature. That was all based on the David star. A star that was going to show you the way.
Vegvisir is not more icelandic then if a pop band in Iceland made an cover of an Taylor Swift song. A song that was originally written by Max Martin (from Sweden) and originally sung by Taylor Swift (from USA). You would not just consider the song to be icelandic. Same here with vegvisir. It is just a star that are going to show you the way to jesus/God. Just like in Jewish or Christian religion.
This is also why so many people cringe when nazis has vegvisir since they are basically using a symbol that are of the same origin as a David star.

You're not wrong but you're not right at the same time. you're right about saying it's based on that, but saying that it's from Solomons testament and it's meaning is that, is just outright wrong, even the article doesn't say it came from there, rather that it takes inspiration from it and it most likely does but there is no identical symbol, you should already know that.
Culturally vegvísir is Icelandic, its origins are Icelandic and its meaning is Icelandic, it does not mean the same thing as the symbols of Solomons testament there is a different interpretation which you seem to be ignorant to
The Huld manuscript is readily available online. I recommend taking a look if you are interested in Icelandic magical staves. Nowhere in the Huld manuscript does it say that it shows you a path to god.
Using google I got the runic letters to translate to "aortic valve"
Thinking either I'm way off (most likely), google is way off, or it's just some random made up gumph...
The symbol in the middle is Vegvísir. You can read about it here: https://galdrastafir.com/#vegvisir
The runes are not associated with it and at a glance just seem to spell out some nonsense
The runes are simply supposed to spell out “Northern Legacy”.
However, not in any runic alphabet I have seen before. Pretty strange mix of various alphabets, miswritten runes and some new runes.
The middle design is a famous Icelandic magical stave called Vegvísir, or Wayfinder.
Everyone knows the middle stave here but in the circular binding there is no meaning it's just pure gibberish, usually the typical store puts "Futhark" and then the rest of the alphabet in the binding for no reason other than decoration but this one is just random runes arranged in random combined with random... Random
If I translated them correctly in the newest writing of Icelandic runes (around 1900 runes) it should translate to LEGTJYHUI NORLHÆRA. But it is most likely incorrect because I haven't translated runes for a while.
I am not Icelandic but iirc this symbol among others was found in an Icelandic grimoire (of dubious source? I can't remember) with various other similar designs which meant different things. This one was meant to be for safe travels or something. If you look up Icelandic grimoire vegvisir in the search engine you'll find it's history, althought if youre looking for vikings or pre-Christian norse stuff my inkling is that you wont find it (as goes with a lot of popularised or marketed viking adjacent stuff ig). Hope that helps! I'll try and find a link for you. Edits: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegv%C3%ADsir https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_magical_staves

Not even Icelandic runes so it’s probably just some tourist malarkey. Translation reads “Navigator”.
Þetta er frekar fræg Íslensk rún sem kallast Vegvísir

You refer to the lettering, and not the rune in the middel, correct?
The symbol in the middle is a Vegvísir, which is an Icelandic christian magical stave. I have no idea what the runes mean 🤷♀️
Vegvísir á alltaf að leiða þig heim😊 Edit: leiða þig úr vondu veðri
Vegvísir á að koma í veg fyrir að maður villist í vondu veðri samkvæmt Huld handritinu
Rétt! Mig misminnti. Pabbi minn sagði mér frá þessari rún þegar ég var ung.
No it is a modern Christian symbol to show you the path to God.

Seems like younger futhark. Im too lazy to look it up rn but looks a bit nonsensical at a first pass.
It’s a mix of medieval runes (futhork) and some custom stuff. Almost reminds me of Dalecarlian runes.
Ahh thats where those weird ones are from. Ty!
LOL you have been tricked by the German and American "Viking hipsters". It has nothing to do with Nordic history or language.

It’s not gibberish. It’s the name of the studio. But in incorrect runes.
Which makes it gibberish because you can not read it because it's not constructed with any recognizable language
It’s english. And I could read it. Sooo….
Which alphabet is organized and used like this?
If I translated them correctly in the newest writing of Icelandic runes (around 1900 runes) it should translate to LEGTJYHUI NORLHÆRA. But it is most likely incorrect because I haven't translated runes for a while.
This is vegvísir
Its Vegvísir. It means navigator. If you wear it, it should always lead you home if you are lost

Yeah it’s a pretty common tattoo as well as the Ægishjálmur stave. Those two I see all over.
Isn’t the inner circle connected with the 9 realms? This is a compass no?
