Karen that is an interesting interpretation of the symbol. However why does it have a crown dragon face and sharp teeth if it was a wormhole.
I just noticed something looking at that symbol more closely. There is an infinity sign entangled in it and the human (or infant) is actually the tail of this thing. Like most serpent pictures that eat it's tail. but there is also an extra tail that is a path separate from the infinity sign.....maybe that is the wormhole integrated into it too.
The symbol was re-designed for this company. I think there is more to this..

In 1910 a draughtsman named Romano Cattaneo was given the job of coming up with a badge for a new Milan-based company, ALFA. The story goes that as he was waiting for a train at the Piazza Castello terminus in Milan, he gained inspiration from the great Visconti family's red cross and biscione (human child-bearing serpent) coat of arms emblazoned over the great door of Castello Sforzesco.

then I came across this.

Biscione-Italian Serpent Symbolism strikingly similar to Quetzalcoatl in Mayan ... It has been the emblem of the Italian Visconti family

Tracing that family back it ses that the symbols they used in their armory was derived from the time of the ancient Egyptians and even further back. It's an old ancient symbol and whatever it represents is significant.
