mmmm never heard of that... just the Pentagon being shaped like an owl god (molech or something?).
I don't see why they would use a swaztica seeing the nazi's used it already... thats like sloppy seconds or something.
why dont u try searching on google or something.

If your able to see past it's horrid misuse, it's actually quite a nice symbol/icon. They pretty much killed it tho.

yeah if it wasn't for hitler who stole it from ze german boyscouts we'd all be using it in our trendish design-crests now!!!
- randoman0
nah.. it was around way before Germany... check the link rab posted. It has a long and interesting history.
But your right, it would most likely be up there with the crowns n' skulls.

where is the building ribit posted located?

Despite all the associations, it's actually a beautiful and very practical form.
I mean, it's a very simple construct of 4 right angles hinged on a central point - not really very much to cry about.
I remember trialling 'swastika' forms when making one of our companies logos a few years back. Unfortunately, it was hard not being overwhelmed by the fascist connotations.
Fuckin' Nazis.

Sorry, "Goddamned Nazis" as Indiana woulda said.

"The Swatika symbol in Hinduism ranks second only to OM. Today, the Swastika is known the world over not as a religious symbolism of the Hindus but as the Nazi emblem. Hitler's use of the Swastika on the flag of National-socialist Germany has besmirched the Swastika. But the Swastika continues to hold a religious significance for the Hindus. Like OM, the origins of Swastika are lost in the misty realms of the past and they can only be guessed by piecing together of the surviving clues."
