Thanks. It owes more than a little to EG&G

and Mitsubishi

and definitely Led Zeppelin

But you don't have to dig into triquetras too much to realize (A) the hippies are right, they're f'n cool (B) if you take the hippie out of them you get some stuff with real legs

Because boy howdy there's something about three-arm radial symmetry that people just love

and semiotically speaking? I need all the firepower I can get.

Honestly I think I stan radial symmetry in general. Not that I'm designing logos on the regular, but if I were...

I think it's been said 1,000,000 different ways in just as many places, but it sucks that the Nazis took such a neat looking design and sullied it (outside of its original context as a religious symbol imo) by association

Fer real dawg. And the "4th Reich" is trying to do the exact same thing with the triskelion. Totalitarians get design, though. Waffen SS? Their uniforms were some of Hugo Boss' first work. And here Trump is, insisting we can't have federal buildings without Doric columns.
