Somebody showed me this and I am trying to do research on it, It looks sort of like that Nazi sign but it has been changed. I am curious as to what this is called, or if it even has an official name. I have looked everywhere for an answer but cannot find it. I saw this in a video posted online, it popped quick in the video and dissapeared and i am curious about it.


Has anyone seen this symbol before? And if so what is it and what does it represent?

There must have been context clues in the video, right? Give me a link to it.

Many people often misunderstand where the Swastika actually came from.

Evidence exists that ornaments similar to the swastika date back to the Neolithic period. The Swastika is found primarily in cultures in modern day India and nearby locations.

It's used as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol. Major world religions, such as Shamanism, used the Swastika.

If the symbol from the image you showed us is indeed owned by the Nazis, I believe that it was probably their original symbol. They probably decided to add to it so that it wasn't the exact same thing as what other groups were using. Later on, it was probably revised and reverted back to its true form, which is what we see today. (View the image below.)



The other thing I noticed in the image you posted, is the bird behind the symbol. The wingspan with the visible tail feathers is representative of the Nazi regime, as seen in the image below.



In my opinion, it's sickening that the Swastika carries the controversy it does. It originally started out as a beautiful thing - representational of peace and harmony, and was later twisted into the icon of the systematic murder of millions.

I saw the wingspan type thing and also thought Nazi. It depends on what exactly the video was, though.

EDIT: Looked it up and I didn't find anything. Looks as if it was a variant of the swastika made for a show because the swastika was deemed inappropriate.

Sorry been busy so I was not able to respond to the post when I wanted.

Anyway, the image shown is also accompanied by other weird still images. The video may not be safe for work. It is a video trailer for the game Eve Online made by somebody not related to the owners. Dont know if this will help but here it is:

video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3867287927520173056&ei=NaitSILYFIyI4QKGtrAv&q=skul lfcuk&vt=lf

The images dont start appearing till close to the marker in the screenshot above.

EDIT: It wouldnt let me post it as a link so i had to remove the http://

In that case it is probably a variation of the swastika used for the game due to the large amount of controversy behind the swastika.

Yeah, I play EVE Online too. That's probably where I've seen this type before.

It's made to represent the Swastika, without actually representing it.

Sort of like saying heck instead of hell.
