UNO mark on armours and uniforms
Unisol:
So, i've done some googling, and here's what I found.
Apparently, what Koba refers to is Celtic Cross, which is indeed used as a neo-nazi symbol in Italy and a bit in Germany. You may note that Celtic Cross has fins on top, left, bottom and right, while logo I proposed has them on top left, bottom left, top right and bottom right. So they are similar, yes, but in my opinion not similar enough to confuse with each other.
kOba:
Unfortunately, so is the symbol as the name is Celtic, Ireland is the national symbol, but in Italy is related to the areas of the extreme right and the right-wing subversive ...
Keep in mind though that if you do use it, however, a reference to nationalism, while in the game we are talking about a global resistance among the various nations then type internationalist. Your symbol is inappropriate!
Unisol:
Well, luckily for us, there are a lot of ancient pictograms for "earth". I wandered around wikipedia a bit and found out that medieval alchemists used some sybmol for earth as well. This one was originally devised by ancient greeks and represents earth not as celestial body, but as basic element. Ah well. Anyways, I have removed the cross and put the triangle in the circle. Also repositioned spears a bit.
Anarch Cassius:
The fact that has a passing resemblance to an upside anarchy sign now has me imagining an army with that symbol locked in battle with an army using the 1st one :)
Also what's with fascists and ruining perfectly good symbols? If it weren't for the Nazi's we'd have a perfect cross-cultural, easy-to-stencil, Sol symbol.
As for Phalanx, I like the first with the spear style of the 2nd. Plenty of ordinary people use Celtic crosses and the one without extended arms is not as associated with fascists as it is the planet.
kurja:
frankly, *any* symbol can pretty much be guaranteed to have seen some objectionable use that one wouldn't think possible, like symbols of ancient nordic mythology are in some countries seen as "white power" symbols, or that celtic cross as a fascist symbol in italy. not that use of suspicious symbology shouldn't be avoided but if we're going to have any symbols at all a line has to be drawn somewhere
