The logo

Ok, so the text says, "The aforementioned logo represented an amalgamation of several 'icons of authority' including the Christian Cross, the swastika and the Union Flag combined with a two headed snake consuming itself (to symbolise the idea that power will eventually destroy itself)." The source is an interview in 'New Crimes' fanzine, issue 3, winter 1980. The thing is, I do not and never have seen any indication of the Union Jack, nor of a swastika, except for perhaps elements of a bent swastika, and I have no way of looking at the original source material. I did however come across this altered Crass logo which appears to have been for the Sheep Farming in the Falklands single. The Union Jack is clearly present, and although I still don't see a clear swastika, the elements of a bent one still remain. Is there any way that interview was talking about this logo instead?

No its definately the original Dave King logo that is being refered to, and these elements are definately there. This has been stated by Rimbaud and others in several fanzines and elsewhere, I'll see if i can find another more easily verifiable reference however quercus robur 17:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
