Will Sparks New “SS” Logo
I can’t believe he us the SS logo from the NAZI party.
How could the designer NOT know?
what a moron. It’s not ironic, edgy, controversial, just simply a shit idea. Millions of people worldwide, me included, have family history of people who suffered death, torture, imprisonment and terror at the hands of those bastards. Have some respect for others and ultimately yourself you narcissistic prick.
The nazy actually copied 99% of the stuff people relate to being their creation.
The concentration camps were copied from Stalin’s ones. The hand pointed to the sky was copied from Mussolini’s Fascism.
The nazy swastika was copied from a chinese symbol, and this same symbol is considered sacred in oriental cultures like Hinduism and Buddhism.
The “SS” made of “bolts” is actually a celtic symbol: Sowilō (rune) - Wikipedia
So, technically, he is not copying anything nazi, because almost nothing is nazi’s creation. The only thing they created was extremely high technology weapons for their time.
Just saying some symbols remain religious till this day, and should not be related to someone like Hitler.
I’m watching too much history channel.
Ask anyone over the age of 30 what that symbol represents. Who cares if they copied it from someone else? Terrible argument.
Who is Will Sparks… /care
Stalin was a monster x10 bigger than Hitler, he killed way more people in his concentration camps, he tortured and killed his own wife and everybody from her family. I don’t see people losing their minds about the Hammer and sickle, actually people manage to use t-shirts with this symbol in it as a form of “fashion”. Explain me why.
No one has “lost their mind”
It’s in very poor taste to use a symbol that is tied to a Nazi group of killers to promote himself. The symbol is currently used by white gangs in the states a a symbol of white power.
I would never wear the hammer and sickle. Well maybe…if the t shirt was really cool. Or if i was dressing up a Nikolai Volkoff for halloween…
I’m not saying Will Spaks is right, I just said it might have to do with religion, it is a crap way to advertise himself, but it is not wrong.
About the t-shit, just take a minute to think about how media runs our minds. The hammer and sickle is way more terrifing, way more gross than swastika, ss-bolts or anything else. But as we all know, the history is always written by the ones who won the wars.
I am not one to compare atrocities…
Its not the origin of the symbol mates, Its the association. That logo at the start of that video, The “SS” was the first thing that came to mind, i also suspect it may have even been deliberate, unless the designer was a retard.
Absolutely agree Jester, please don’t debase yourself by being an apologist for this moronic BS…do you honestly think whoever designed and approved that was thinking of ‘ancient celtic symbols’? Don’t be so naive. It’s not even a makeover or a ‘recontextualization’, it’s just the SS symbol straight up.
No-one’s losing their minds, that’s symbolism with immense historical and cultural weight.
contact his mangement luke@luckyent.com
edit: appears his management are going to do the right thing and stop using this and also apologized. It was a horrendous choice in the first place but at least they had the good grace and humanity to respond, and for that at least personally I’m grateful.
Ten WallSS might borrow his designer for a new logo…?
