How do I cope knowing that the best logo ever is ruined by a retarded ideology? Nothing comes even close to the swastika. It makes me depressed to the point of giving up logos completely.
>>458255(OP) >best logo ever >Nothing comes even close
For the eighteen millionth time: if the symbology you choose as representative of your entity, ideology, etc. is already ubiquitous and so commonplace that there are literally hundreds of wildly disparate meanings attached to it across many millenia of its existence, it is an objectively poor choice for a logo. Ironically this applies to both the Nazi swastika and the LGBTQ rainbow.
The ultimate irony is that the Nazi swastika was a very slight and MEANINGLESS *redesign* of the ancient symbol, the type of thing that causes wannabe art authorities on gd lose their minds when a corporation does it.
Hitler was a lackluster artist but even worse at graphic design and could only steal existing ideas, tweak them slightly and then call them "his". Like so many corporate versions of the same process it was all used to sell empty bullshit to morons and everyone else rejected it- so much so that even maintaining and protecting the original meanings/use was seen as less important than repudiating the symbol for that association...
which is another hint that the symbol wasn't that important or valuable or strong to begin with and is just a simple geometric doodle that literal cave men invented.
If any of this symbology was valuable or important or powerful (and if Nazis and/ or activist queers had any balls) each of these groups would simply appropriate the respective symbols as a display of cunning and power and reap the benefits.
Instead, both have become so toxic by association that even retards who think super generic symbols make the best logos are mostly smart enough to avoid them. And in this case, even the rainbow is less toxic and still used by legacy brands, so Nazis lose again.

>>458255(OP) Travelling through Malaisa I once found a construction bussines that was actually called "Swastika, inc.", I kid you not.
>>458291 swastika is one of the oldest human symbols. and nazis were the closest thing to "good guys" in the past 100 years. i will no longer reply to anything.
>>458339 LOFL, I guess you at least deserve some credit for introducing another meaningless buzzword/phrase to describe some alleged quality that can't be quantified >visual power Yes, SO much "visual power" that the two most common associations drawn when viewing it are "war/genocide" and "peace/good luck"...and people regularly guess the intended meaning wrong when they see one, or anything that even vaguely resembles one...
>>458339 Even just the *word* without the symbol triggers unintended, unwanted and unfavorable connections that have nothing to do with historical context-
>Swastika Trail, near Puslinch Lake in central southwestern Ontario, was named in the 1920s.
>(Randy)Guzar, who has lived on the road for the past 18 years, said he associates the swastika with the bigotry and genocide of the Nazis.
>“He does not want to be linked with the symbol, and he says that when he presents his driver’s licence or health card, he is routinely asked if he is a white supremacist or a neo-Nazi,” court said in its decision.
This Karen doesn't give a shit about the history of the street he moved to OR the larger history of the symbol OR even the fact that there's dozens of types of symbols that are swastikas and bear little resemblance to the Nazi one...he actually went to court in part because he was butthurt that people made that history known before people voted on a name change- >Among other things, Guzar objected to how the cottagers association held its vote, including distributing a pamphlet about the positive history of the swastika before the Nazis used it.
It's literally just a variation on a cross symbol, one of the oldest, dirt simplest and most ubiquitous symbols known to man.
As a visual mark of differentiation or distinction it is objectively shitty on that count alone, especially when you rotate it to an X shape...a shape not just used by everybody to mean practically anything, it's also so lacking in innate meaning that it is also used to symbolize nothing, erasure...or AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY... which is the exact opposite of what a logo is supposed to convey.
Just adding hook/serif- like additions doesn't really fix that, and even before Nazism it was already so popular AS A LOGO that it was useless for determining who actually made the product or what the symbol was supposed to mean.

>>458255(OP) Give it another generation or two. The last holocaust survivors are dying off and without people who were actually there to tell us "never forget" the Nazis will be as relevant to us as the Mongols or Ottomans and they symbol will come back.
>>458255(OP) Nazism is actually 10 times deeper than whatever slop variant of libtardism you believe in. Nazis didn't jusy randomly have all the coolest visuals.
