Walking to lunch in Soho, I’ve seen a sticker around a few different places. It looks like the WWII era German (nazi) flag, red with a white circle, except instead of a swastika in the circle, there’s a squared off dollar sign, tilted about 45 degrees to the left… It kinda looks like this (except all the angles are 90 degrees): ```auto --------- / \ / \ / \ | x | | / \ /\ | | \ x \ | | \/ \ / | | x | \ / \ / \ / --------- ``` Any ideas? ---

[This](http://www.hewho.com/posters/neoliberalnazi.gif) is the symbol for some group apparently calling themselves the Neoliberal Nazis. That’s about all I’ve managed to dig up so far. ---

That’s about all I’ve managed to dig up so far. Yup, that’s it. What search terms did you use to find that? I wasn’t able to find anything - obviously searching nazi and swastika weren’t too helpful. Thanks! ---

[nazi “dollar sign” logo](http://www.google.com/search?q=nazi%20%22dollar%20sign%22%20logo&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=iw) You gotta’ dig a bit, but as you see the first result is highly relevant. 🙂 ---

> [@dasgupta](#): > > Yup, that’s it. What search terms did you use to find that? I used _swastika “dollar sign”_. The first hit is a message board where someone posted it. Further searching leads me to believe it’s just some Bush-hating group. ---
