After further review, how do you accidentally put 2 swastikas in a font?

mik, I had heard that the symbol had actually been benign in nature before the Nazis, however, I think there's too much attached to it now for it to ever be deemed that way again.

very true roto

yes there is a heap of shit associated to it, and yes it would be very difficult to unassociate anything to do with it.

I agree with Oli no matter how you try do desensitise it how could anybody use it and for what purpose.

i was going to post a few logos (swapping the original icons for swatsikas - just to show but i was slightly horrified and also it might have been deemed in bad taste.
