@Fevs how isn't it?

2018-03-20 20:48:07 UTC  

Symbolism is a brand, you teach people what symbols mean

@Tony H What did the swastika mean in 1900?

2018-03-20 20:49:32 UTC  

What did Golden Dawn's symbol mean before they picked it up? Not what it does now

2018-03-20 20:49:43 UTC  

The main example I had was this. Obviously I don't want the Reich eagle on it. Something familiar but fashy. I'm into sheilds specifically.

The swastika was already a European symbol

2018-03-20 20:50:04 UTC  

The golden dawn symbol is thousands of years old and means justice.

2018-03-20 20:50:12 UTC  

@Tony H What does that have that people automatically see and recognize?

2018-03-20 20:50:45 UTC  

Red huwyte and blue aka America and a German eagle aka natze

2018-03-20 20:51:06 UTC  

And the fasces

2018-03-20 20:51:07 UTC  

And fascists axes

2018-03-20 20:51:18 UTC  

@Tony H I like it, but my eyes get a litle confused on what the focal point is

2018-03-20 20:51:19 UTC  

There are colors that they recognize so they're already drawn to it. Having a sheilds implies that you're protecting or defending something. It can have other symbols to show more specifically what we are as well.

2018-03-20 20:51:34 UTC  

Yeah I said it's an example that needs worked on

2018-03-20 20:51:37 UTC  

I like shields as well

2018-03-20 20:51:41 UTC  

No Reich eagle obviously.

2018-03-20 20:51:43 UTC  

Shields are cool

2018-03-20 20:51:48 UTC  

hmmm shield

2018-03-20 20:51:53 UTC  

hmmm

2018-03-20 20:52:01 UTC  

And the oak leaves

2018-03-20 20:52:27 UTC  

I don't mind fascist symbols because they aren't even specially tied to anything. But they aren't a must.

2018-03-20 20:52:49 UTC  

we also want something that's easy to spray paint on a rock or a banner

2018-03-20 20:54:10 UTC  

A sheild with an acronym is pretty easy to paint.

2018-03-20 20:54:42 UTC  

are we going for a monogram or for a symbol?

2018-03-20 20:56:00 UTC  

Symbol for me

2018-03-20 20:56:23 UTC  

I agree

2018-03-20 20:56:36 UTC  

Painting whatever our logo is is going to be the least likely we we'll be spreading it. I'm more worried about what will look good on a flyer, flag, and banners.

2018-03-20 20:56:41 UTC  

it can be inside a shield shape instead of a circle, that's a great idea

2018-03-20 20:56:48 UTC  

Yeah I want a symbol too.

2018-03-20 20:57:36 UTC  

Maybe no circle wait and see what else he churns out

2018-03-20 20:58:05 UTC  

Maybe a diamond instead? Like Hitler junge flag

2018-03-20 20:58:17 UTC  

maybe

2018-03-20 20:59:20 UTC

2018-03-20 20:59:46 UTC  

Diamond doesn't look bad if we are looking for something so simple

2018-03-20 21:01:35 UTC  

diamond also has natural symmetry with the swastika. Whatever symbol we pick might be better suited to another shape

2018-03-20 21:01:40 UTC  

but I like where you're going

2018-03-20 21:02:45 UTC  

I've got a couple graphics guys working on it at the moment too. I'll see what they come up with.

2018-03-20 21:06:47 UTC  

I thought about an alchemy symbol for iron, but it turns out its just the normal male symbol. So not great.

2018-03-20 21:07:21 UTC  

@Fevs I know a graphic designer I can put you in touch with if you still need.

2018-03-20 21:08:06 UTC  

put them in touch with johan, he was the one asking
