What's the deal with this bumper sticker?

[Bayard]

I keep seeing this bumper sticker that's driving me nuts. There are no words on it, just a symbol. I don't have a photo of it, but I'll try to describe it. It looks like a capital A overlaid with a capital V. It is red, in a red circle. My very crude attempt to reproduce it in Paint is here (http://picasaweb.google.com/kurtaubuchon/Misc?authkey=yu9feJ09oc4&feat=directlink). In my drawing, the legs of the A and V don't go far enough. In the actual symbol, the legs extend as far as the points of the two letters.

What the heck is that?

It sure looks Masonic to me. Maybe a stylized version of the square and calipers.

I had the same thought, but are the Masons given to stylizing their symbol? My ignorance of the Masons is both deep and wide, but they don't strike me as the kind of folks who would go messing around with their symbol. I think we have a couple of Masons on the board. Maybe one of them will chime in.

Well, 635 people have looked at this thread and not answered, so I guess it's a really obscure thing. I'm just going to let this one sink off the first page one more time. Tonight, on my way back from my Monday night date with my wife, I will probably see the car with the bumper sticker again. I guess it's time to start stalking the owner.

Get a photo.

Anarchey? Don't know if it spelled right, but the symbol looks like what you described.

I've been wrong before.

Edit: Wrong again. Saw your "drawing" not the symbol I thought.

The kids on the Audio-Visual comittee grew up and started their own symbol club.

It's not an 'anarchy' symbol. Maybe Alcoholics Anonymous? They are given to stylizing their symbols, but the most common is a triangle in a circle.

No, it's not even close to an AA sticker.

Before I saw your drawing, I was thinking maybe a Crass sticker, but again, not even close.

Get us a phone pic or something! Or yeah, just stalk the driver and beat it out of him... ;)

I don't have a camera phone, and I usually don't have a camera with me when I see it. I've seen it on more than one vehicle, but there is a car that I pass by frequently on the way back from the pub. I'll take a camera with me tonight and hope to see it.

This is all I could find that's even close:
Here's a red campsite symbol. (http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/wayne/images/rec_symbols/camping.gif)
The anarchy symbol lacks the V to be the right symbol (http://www.mondotees.com/ProductImages/anarchyred.jpg)
Here's an inverted red pentagram. (http://sabbathrock.com/images/inverted-red-pentagram-with-upside-down-cross.jpg)

I'm betting it is a Cincinnati thing. Either a neighborhood parking sticker, a college campus parking sticker, or a corporate parking lot of some sort.

Either that, or it sends the message that they have already been replicated by the pod, and they hunters should move to the next victim.
