    Default Is this a swastika-style logo?

    There is a bit of a to-do on Twitter over the publication of a logo under the heading "New Order" on the cover of a Manchester United email sent to club supporters.
    I attach a rough approximation of the logo here. The folks at Manchester United have issued an "unreserved apology" for reasons, that are, as far as I am concerned, mystifying.
    It is said that this is a "Nazi-style" logo and I was wondering if the good people at TG agree that this is offensive, or is it drawing attention to a non-existent problem?
    The logo represents the initials MUFC - Manchester United Football Club and that seems to be all there is to it. I don't see anything sinister about the design, but passions are running high in football circles.
    I would be keen to know how people here feel about this, and if any logo designers feel that they ought to be second guessing potential "offensive" designs that they may be innocently creating that are going to result in prosecution for committing a perceived hate crime. The newspaper article is here.
