Seeing the fediverse logo in Antifa colours made me chuckle

This color scheme makes it look like some satanist organization. I love it!

And here my ass thought it was the only other UGA football fan on Lemmy besides me

Why are all the inner lines black but one? I hate it.

But wouldn't three of the lines need to be red for that? Something like this:

yeah i like that a lot more, kinda want to make the dots black though, feels like that contrast makes it a bit easier to see the A and generally looks better.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

The A may be more obvious if the outer ring was also black.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

yeah i considered that but then the whole thing is basically all black, and the original anarchist symbol has a red outer circle.

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Not sure how but you made an abstract logo look like a leatherdaddy. Excellent work.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

hm, yeah i don't see it, perhaps you think more about leatherdaddies than most people?

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 1 month ago

Also it makes it look like basically all actual instances (circles) are fascist (red)?

Also, are antifascists the terminally online ones? But maybe there's a language context nuance that I'm missing!?

Nice thought (supporting antifa) imho, but odd execution.

The red is probably for communism, the colours are the same as the anarcho-communism flag. Personally, I've always associated fascism with black, no idea why.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

Hitler was black (I mean... hopefully you know what I mean!?:-P), while Russia and China are red, so they truly could go either way.

In the USA I tend to associate antifa with black, probably bc Trump supporters are red - but as in red (Republican/"conservative") vs. blue (Democrat/"liberal") (yeah extremely heavy quotes on those terms... ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ).

Anyway, that would mean that the entirety of the Fediverse servers were antifa, which seems to contrast with Lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml that featured so prominently in its software development?

So either way it is a bit confusing, to me at least.

Black flags are specifically anarchist. Red flags are specifically communist/Marxist. Red and black flags bisected tend towards things like anarcho-syndicalism and anarcho-communism, or even just socialist solidarity.

Communists are supposed to be antifa, which is not a strictly anarchist thing. It's supposed to be a Popular Front-style alliance.

Oh right, thanks. Indeed as you say it gets complicated, when up is down and left is upside down and right is inside out, due to people lacking morals wanting to associate themselves with "good things" despite being the polar opposite of those precise things.

[-] FireTower@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The swastika on German Nazi flags were black. Of course they also were mostly red (and had a white circle).

Red, white, and black is definitely a choice though. Maybe picking a color that wasn't on the Nazi flag would have been better for this sticker.

[-] Mim@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

That's just the colours of regular AntiFa stickers:

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

i mean i'm pretty sure the nazis chose those colours specifically to benefit from being associated with socialism, the party's full name is literally the "national socialists" after all, the whole thing about nazism is taking something popular and using it for evil.

I more associate them with brown anyways, that's way more unique to fascism. EVERYONE uses red white and black, they're literally the first colours every language creates words for.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Ok thats sick af.

[-] Hundun@beehaw.org 7 points 1 month ago

If your org has a pentagram in its logo, yet you do not practice the occult&arcane, my beard is not joining.
