Many cultures (Native American, Hindu,Jainism, Buddhism, Christianity, etc.) have used it over time perhaps because the design in and of itself is pleasing.

I think it's just the red and the bright white that makes it off-puttingly nazi-esque.

Something that reads almost as solid red as the actual solid red, maybe? Or, you could increase the size of the center block and cross, give more focus to the center?Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327179373573408156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988970489162944173.post-33839098756479297152008-04-09T12:56:00.000-05:002008-04-09T12:56:00.000-05:00Its very nautical.

It's a neat block, but I can't wait to see what you come up with instead. :-)Brittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17473268023198606378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988970489162944173.post-21667061015700736022008-04-09T11:46:00.000-05:002008-04-09T11:46:00.000-05:00Yes, the swastika jumps out at me right away.
