What in the everloving fuck?
My wife just told me that a Jewish momâs group sheâs a member of on Facebook has found out about the new logo and has given the school an earful. The school said that it is taking a step back to evaluate (this was all said privately, in e-mails).
Iâm assuming it is just an extremely unfortunate coincidence and not anything intentional, but I would be curious who designed it, just to see if itâs possible it was malicious. Now, if the school doesnât change it, gloves come off.

I wouldnât be giving anybody the benefit of the doubt these days. You draw a Nazi looking logo Iâm going to assume youâre a Nazi.

Yeah first thing I thought was thereâs a hidden swastika in there somewhere.
I think these things are usually a little bit more complicated. Like at best you havenât fostered any diversity in key positions in an organization, or worse, people have come to have positive associations with this type of design without necessarily consciously doing it.
People who design things for a living tend to by very aware of symbolism and association, especially if theyâve received any formal education in the field. Even if this person was somehow oblivious to Nazi imagery, itâs still a very dark and militarized logo that says, âWeâre the baddiesâ.

Would be nice to know how many people looked at this and said âthis is fineâ.

A local news website has picked up the story (donât know anything about the site, but the story is pretty thorough, despite not showing the actual Nazi eagle):
Yeah, looking at it some more, even if there was no such thing as a Nazi eagle, the logo just looks bad. It looks like someone made it who has âgraphic design is my passionâ on their resume.
And it sounds like it was developed on the district level, not by the school specifically.

How many people probably looked at that new logo between design and announcement to the public?
And youâre trying to tell me that NOT ONE person in this group said âIsnât that kinda similar to that Nazi symbol?â

I am willing to buy that 100s of typical Americans could look at that and not make the connection, simply because the typical American is ignorant.

Yeah, Iâd think most people wouldnât make the connection. As a Jew and a fan of the Wolfenstein games, I immediately saw it. Those who take an interest in history probably saw it, but other than that, since itâs not actually a swastika, I doubt most people would know whatâs going on there.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution has picked up the story. Top headline on front page of website (paywalled, though).
EDIT: Every ATL news outlet is picking it up now. Looks like it will be on the evening news. CNN will probably find it, too, since theyâre in Atlanta.
As this story picks up steam, what the over/under on how long it takes for some QAnon school board member to say the CRT liberals are making a big deal out of nothing, the Holocaust wasnât even real, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!
My representative on the school board has posted links to Breitbart and Front Page Mag on his Facebook page. He also posted some antivax/anti-mask stuff that I canât see anymore, but can tell from the comments. I believe he also sent an e-mail once referring to COVID-19 as the China Virus.
