As despicable as they were, I gotta give the Nazis credit, they sure had some cool symbolism.

The Nazi eagle looks so tough and imposing, and the iron cross is simple and strong.

@BlueMetalChick Hitler: We need something that stands out. Something that can strike fear and will be remembered throughout history.
Nazi graphic designer: Say no more, my Fuhrer.

@SkinnyMetalhead Oh shit lol you're right, I totally thought he said it was "in the us" as in, in the USA.

Both symbols were stolen (even the Prussians stole theirs)

Bolnisi cross from the 5th century:

Or the Cross pattée 12th century :

And the Hindu "svastika" 5000 BC and still used to date( Su+Asti+Ka where Su means “good” or “well” and Asti means “To Be” and Ka is used to make the word a noun):

@DeWayfarer Well I mostly meant the eagle, not the swastika, but the swastika was another good example.

@BlueMetalChick Yes they were very good at stealing. 🙁

Did you know they almost went with a wombat instead of an eagle?

@CrustyDDingus Well, America almost used a wild turkey as their national bird.

Exactly, the confederate flag is also very cool in design.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@jjoe01 Y'know as a kid I never knew what the Confederate flag meant for a long time because the only place I ever saw it was on Lynyrd Skynyrd stuff, so I just called it the Lynyrd Skynyrd flag.
