It certainly covers all the bases.
I know, right? It’s perfect.
Money, a Swastica and a Cross. beautiful.
Also an U, an S and an A
Also two amogus
Also a 5 and an I or l
And +,-,±,×,÷,>,<,=,≠ and all 8 trigrams of the I Ching
I think it would look better if it was Dollar green.
That dude is spot on!
For those who didn’t notice, there’s a swastika hidden in the
‘hidden’
It’s almost as subtle as fascism hidden in capitalism.
I am saving it to my political images folder. This design is a perfect encapsulation of the shittier aspects of society.
What other stuff you got in there?
Here ya go.
Question for graphic designers:
I get why red would be too obvious, but why is yellow significant.
is gold*
I just modified it, and it has become even more on the nose. 🤮
There’s something kind of clever about heraldic implications of the original (intentional or not) that this misses.
Supposedly, the first rule of heraldry is " the rule of tincture: metal should not be placed upon metal, nor color upon color". White represents sliver and yellow represents gold, so they should not touch (metal upon metal). There are many exceptions in heraldry, but the rule still kicks around. Vatican City’s flag explicitly breaks this rule to demonstrate that “Vatican follows God’s rules and not man’s.”
I find it clever that a flag of capitalism would have a field of gold and a giant roundel of silver (called a plate when silver, silver plates are also associated with wealth), and they touch to demonstrate that capitalism doesn’t care about the rules.
In heraldry red often stands for courage, and that’s not a virtue I associate with capitalism. Also a red roundel is called a tart, and tarts are delicious.
For me, the red stands for two things: “blood” and “Nazi”. I consider fascism to be the next stage of malignant capitalism.
For some reason being a nerd about heraldry scratches an itch for me. Traditionally the “stain” Sanguine represents blood.
Red is the most common color in national flags. I wouldn’t want to cede the color to Nazis.
Looks blurry compared to OPs image which appears to be vector graphics. Just saying. Image compression perhaps?
I do like the idea of capitalisms colour being yellow.
This is far too orange to be appropriate however.
It’s gold-like, which seems congruent to me. Yellow by itself doesn’t say too much about capitalism, maybe anarcho-capitalism, but not capitalism as a whole.
Yellow is also in some contexts the color of cowardice, which seems appropriate
Also piss.
