The upper left hand corner looks like a U. └┘
The middle looks like a big S
The bottom right hand corner looks an A (without the line in the middle). ┌┐
Does anyone else see this or am I just crazy?
Note: I was not actually spray painting swastikas.edit on 7-11-2011 by Rhino5 because: (no reason given)

Maybe they planned it that way.
Maybe when the originally started using the symbol in India who has a completely different alphabet, they designed it to be similar to a non-existant alphabet from the future to coincide with a name of a country who went to war with another country who used the original Indian symbol to represent its political party.

Seriously, you don't think it resembles those letters?
And I was just starting to think about a conspiracy that maybe the US created the Nazi party and they hid the USA letters in the symbol to tell people in the know that it was created by the US.

The swastika is an extremely powerful symbol. The Nazis used it to murder millions of people, but for centuries it had positive meanings. What is the history of the swastika? Does it now represent good or evil?
The Oldest Known Symbol
The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over 3,000 years. (That even predates the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh!) Artifacts such as pottery and coins from ancient Troy show that the swastika was a commonly used symbol as far back as 1000 BCE.
During the following thousand years, the image of the swastika was used by many cultures around the world, including in China, Japan, India, and southern Europe. By the Middle Ages, the swastika was a well known, if not commonly used, symbol but was called by many different names: history1900s.about.com...
