Can ANYBODY say why it is fringe or suspect for me to say it is more likely that the logo designer is trying to link this with a caduceus - a symbol of healthcare for 2000 years - rather than the Nazis given that this is supposed to be a logo for a healthcare program? That symbol is EVERYWHERE around hospitals. Hasn’t anybody here watched Grey’s Anatomy or ER?

BECAUSE, it doesn't have to be an either or situation.

Tom, I’m not arguing with your points. You made some very good ones.

I just find it interesting—the two do remind me of each other. That is all.

I do think there are other similarities in how each party views the use of authority and power, too. And to see the art drawing a parallel, I just thought it was curious.

I certainly do believe the designer had a caduceus in mind when making the logo...but similarities in mindset can also create a similarity in design sometimes, too, don’t you think? :)

Just a thought. I have not attacked you in the least...I appreciate your contributions to the thread.

RD
