Graphic symbolism

These two images are very similar, almost identical but they both have very different histories. The image of the right is the clothing brand “BOY” logo created by Stephan Raynor. The image on the left is the logo for the Nazi party founded in 1920 and ended in 1945 but a lot of conspiracies between the BOY logo and the Nazi party logo. This illustration for a clothing brand makes a bold statement of power but there have been comments that wearing this brand means you’re wearing the Nazi party logo.  “The brand, founded during the punk era, has been subject to a social media campaign urging shoppers not to wear merchandise displaying its eagle logo” (1). On the other hand the brand company itself said it has nothing to do with the Nazi party. “Boy London rejected any linkage with Nazi symbolism. A spokesman said: "The brand is in no way connected to Nazism or the idea of anyone being discriminated against for their creed, colour or religious beliefs."... The eagle logo was "inspired by the eagle of the Roman Empire as a sign of decadence and strength. Its aim is to empower people rather than oppress."” (1). so many there has been a misunderstanding between the two design as they pretty much look the same. As the punk era spawned the creator Stephan Raynor has had influences of different graphic symbols that fit his brand. As maybe the Nazi party had influences from the Roman Empire eagle to show their decadence and strength.

Everyone is familiar with image as it is printed on the American dollar bills. But just from being on the dollar bill it has also got conspiracies behind the image. It has been known for this image too also be part of a cult to take over the world called the “Illuminati” created by Freemasons.  This graphic symbol here has a statement of democracy and power as it is printed on the dollar bill because money makes the country run showing the secret society so called “illuminati” is in control. In the image you can see a pyramid with an eye looking through the peak of the pyramid, people have referred this as the all Seeing Eye that is god’s eye as he knows and sees everything. This also leads back to the Egyptians as in those times Egyptians worshiped the sun God as well as cats making the reason they built their tombs pointing up to the sun.
