Sorry, you think it’s suspicious they put a cross on a new version of a product when the previous version had a cross on it in the exact
same position?
I didn’t even know they had a different cross until the other poster mentioned “medical cross”.
Medical crosses are SOLID and usually all red or all white with red surrounding it, usually inside a circle.
I’ve never seen a medical cross that looks like a Balkenkreuz. Not even Nazis in WW2 used this symbol as a medical cross. LOL
It’s just a modern, minimalist design like you see just about everywhere else.
Of course, I’m not saying they are literal Nazis… I thought it was funny that an old German company would put a ubiquitous symbol used by Nazis during WW2 on their products.
There must have been some discussion over this at the company!
I find it extremely funny how you asked a question, received an answer of “no”, and then started arguing with everyone about how the answer is actually yes. The answer is no.
You cannot expect to be taken seriously when you’re arguing that a minimalist cross outline in red is the same as a black cross with a white outline, but it’s totally not the same as a red cross. And that black cross outlined in white is totally different to a grey cross outlined in white that uses the same name.
There was probably no discussion because only you saw the connection, and it’s a VERY tenuous connection at that.

You’re right. And I overestimated this Lemmy community for thinking it had more of a sense of humour.
Given the multiple coincidences of that specific symbol being used, I thought it was something funny. My apologies if it came out as not funny.
