Hola All, E just sent me this snap! What a cool icon-

Would be even cooler

if it didn't remind me a little of a Swastika. Funny how a cool symbol can be tarnished to such an amazing degree.

Swastika

It also reminds me of a Swastika. Yes it is too bad that the Nazis polluted such a cool design. I have heard though, that the Nazi Swastika rotated counter clockwise, and other such symbols, which often times are used to denote life energy, are portrayed rotating clockwise. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that?

So maybe the cool Taiwanese recycling symbol could be reversed so that it's rotating clockwise and then it could be distinguished from the harmful / hateful Nazi Swastika symbol.
