The only problem with the Klingon flag is that when you first glance it from a distance, well...
True story. Flew our Klingon flag... neighbors thought it was a nazi flag. Had to explain..."no, no, we are not Nazis (I'm actually Jewish). We are just really big geeks." Yeah...that was the last time we flew that one.
It looks nothing like a swastika. Is it just because of the colors?
the colours and layout. If I didn't know it was a Klingon flag I would guess the middle symbol is fascist from context. It's clearly based on the nazi flag
It's an inverted Japanese flag with the Klingon logo in the middle.
It's the colours.
When I was five, my mum tied red, white and blue ribbons in my hair for the royal wedding. Obviously my hair ribbons didn't resemble the Union Jack. But everyone knew what they represented, nonetheless.
Yep. Our friends flew one for a 4th of July party and one of the party guests took them aside and explained what it looked like to a casual observer.
I was just thinking that. If I didn't know what it was beforehand driving past it, I'd assume it was a Nazi swastika. Wonderful of that neighbor though. tlhIngan maH! taHjaj!
