wanted - ideas for non-Swastika symbol for WWW2 ?
« on: 08 December 2012, 01:07:16 PM »
I need a non-swastika swastika for my Weird W2 'Nazi's', I'm keeping the red with the white circle but I want something to replace the black bit.
It has to be LAF friendly and ideally would be easy to paint :D

it also has to look right (so no smily faces) lol

What about the Triskelion/Triskele?

Eugène Terre'Blanche and his AWB were rather fond of it. Not sure if it is a banned symbol or not, as the AWB version does look rather like a Nazi Swastika that has lost a leg in a nasty accident. Type "eugene terreblanche" into Google images and you will see one behind his lovable, handsome visage. On second thoughts, "AWB flag" is a much simpler thing to type.  ::)


Also, video games sometimes put an all-black version of the standard WWII-style German cross inside the white circle on a Nazi flag.

I'm fairly certain that version is banned, thanks for the info :)

so far I have a white diamond shape on a red background. :)

and the rune symbol Othel in the center

That image doesn't load, but yeah, I'd say pick a rune symbol you like and that has a vaguely appropriate look.  :)

Well, the most common non-swastika swastika ist the Balkenkreuz or the Schwarzes Kreuz. For it was really used by (and still is) german Forces it also has the "right look".

The Wolfenstein logo is fairly versatile.

Mod edit: removed the link. Current Wolfenstein games may not be promoted in Germany.

Why not stylized skulls?  As skulls always represent the baddies... Something like the punisher skull, but more stylized and angular.

And you can get them made into decals!  We're running several sets of custom decals in the next week or so for clients.  We run a custom decal design and print service after all.

You could always go with the hydra symbol from the Red Skull's troops in Captain America:



And get Company B to do the decals?
