That's new...Although I understand due to some of their advertising, it's caused some epileptic seizures in people, so the ads have to be pulled....Saw the ads on the news this morning... :shock: Even if they didn't cause seizures, they should be pulled for being obnoxious and annoying with all the freaking out shapes and colors coming at you so fast it's hard to focus on anything.

Huh? It's not close at all, some people just have too much time on their hands. The Waffen SS would have never occurred to me.

I'm sorry, but some people here obviously have NEVER seen the Waffen SS logo. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with this.

It only looks waffen ss if you really really want it to. Here is what the real waffen ss logo looks like:
http://images.google.at/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=de&q=waffen+ss+logo&btnG=Bilder-Suche

If a small segment of the logo resembles in abstract form something else we cannot say it is identical.

It really annoys me when a fuss (media fuss) is made about something so abstract.

Maybe we should also ban the commonly used electricity symbol because a part of it, if you try hard enough, looks like the waffen ss logo?

I wish I had the luxury to make a fuss of things like this :)

I don't think many people actually associated the logo with the SS it's just something someone said and it stuck. The real issue was that the British public were spoon fed a load of ******** about this "NEW DYNAMIC LOGO!" yeah that's what we thought. £400,000 that piece of junk? your having a laugh!

The logo was so ugly I actually assumed it was a joke, but it's not (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Summer_Olympics)

Whenever I look at it all I can see is a girl on the left, and a guy on the right doing things which I couldnt possibly mention here!

It's a subliminal message to encourage people to perform such acts...

No really the two lightning bolts are used for the SS. Almost every high voltage box has one.

So, what...the Nazi's that are left in the world are claiming copyright-infringement on their Swastika? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika) (even though its an ancient pagan symbol that's been around for hundreds of years)

Tell them to get in line with Microsoft...

I have to agree that it is a bizarrely ugly yet humorous logo...
