...just curious what my fellow Grogheads think of this logo.



I'll post more on it later, but just wanted to get some of your reactions to it first.
What the Effing F??!!  :o  :o  :o 

How blind/dumb could they be??  Did no one at their company look at the logo and go, "Hold on guys.  Does this look familiar to anyone else?"

Go to their FB page... someone tried to point out the problem...

Not so obvious in the bright yellow and orange... but the dark blue (almost black!) version for their profile pic....  ???

That would be funny if it weren't so pathetically stupid and scary. Those dingbats can't see that the logo looks like a friggin SS symbol.  :uglystupid2:

Are we sure they aren't a front company for some white supremacy group?

Even without the NAZI iconography, this shit is weird

Reminds me of the logo for a direct order/manufacture company called Swell Source :

The logo would be less obvious if not for the blatant use of the red, white, and black colors in it.  :o

Makes you wonder if whomever created the logo was taking a hostile shot at the company.  :idiot2:

I actually know some people associated with the company. Trust me they are not that self aware

So this is accidental?? Both the SS t-shirt in Walmart and the Simply Southern logo? That can't be possible. Is 70 years that much time to be removed from those events? To think - I felt my faith in humanity had bottomed out.

Wal Mart was just trying to put a skull on there. I guarantee the designer wasn't thinking abiut where the skulk came from.

Shockingly Stupid logo. Or maybe they are skinheads. Even the duck would hide it's head in shame.

Is this because trendy 20 something's are the go to source of all things creative and 'urban' and they really have no frikking idea what it is they just 'designed'?

That's what I think is happening

Most of the graphic design students I've had over the years had an appalling understanding of history, so something like this totally would not surprise me
