Mr. Answer Doesn’t Really Dig the Question. Just Sayin’.

The question (which wasn’t asked of the resident know-it-all):

Isn’t it about time that the swastika’s 12 year association with fascism was demoted to a temporary glitch and its far greater and more traditional symbolic meanings, such as eternality, universal order, harmony and the balance of opposites, were once again given priority? Even the word swastika originates from a Sanskrit word meaning ‘well-being’.

I’m sticking with “no.” Until neo-fascists stop using the symbol as a sign of racial hatred and until we can manage to disassociate it with the murder of millions and one of the bloodiest wars in the history of the planet, using it in graphic design seems a bit out of bounds.
