Vaughan Pratt designed the original Sun Microsystems logo, which is an ambigram (and also a swastikoid rotation group):

It originally had a square orientation:

John Gage suggested turning it 45 degrees (making it even more swastikier).

That's the same John Gage who's on Nixon's Enemies List.

There's only one swastikoid logo more swastikier and cockier than the Sun logo, and that's Slack's infamous Penis Swastika Logo.

>Slack added: ‘The important thing about being a brand is that whenever people see you in the wild, they should recognize that it’s you.’

>So naturally, it decided to launch a new icon which has now been roundly roasted across the internet and compared to four phalluses arranged in the shape of a symbol that’s forever associated with the Nazi.

>Designer T Carter Baxter tweeted: ‘I know people at Slack and I know they’re smart, capable and caring people. But once you hear “swastika made of dicks” it’s kind of over for the new logo.’

I do respect that Slack stuck to their guns, so to speak.
