ISIS
-
Due to a number of factors I found myself awake in the middle of the night so turned my telly on to try to occupy the mind a little. The channel that was on was showing a documentary about Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell album so I watched, interesting enough, they talked to Meat, Jim Steinman, Todd Rundgren, the women who had sung on Paradise By The Dashboard Light, showed performances of the songs, easy enough to watch if you like the music. At the end the credits rolled and then it said "Produced by ISIS". Bit of a change from their usual videos I thought to myself, just looked them up on the internet. Is it me, or does their logo[^] look a bit, erm, Nazi-y?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

The "S" looks like the Nazi SS, certainly.

No :) It looks like six lines placed on a yellow board. BTW: The Teuton S Rune you are referring to is not related in any way to the 3.Reich except for that they used it.

They did not care much about history and just reinvented it as needed. No wonder they just loved the sig rune, or 'victory'. Had they preferred English, then they would have 'V' all over the place.

It was produced by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria[^] AND they use nazi symbolism? :confused:

Never mind how it looks. Are they not concerned with how it reads? I've never heard of this company before, and it certainly is unfortunate that their brand has been absconded by thugs, but wouldn't you think it's high-time they rolled out a new name? (On the flip side, though, maybe we could alter our foreign policy strategy and take down the Islamic State based on copyright infringement -- kinda like how Eliot Ness took out Al Capone...)

There are quite a few businesses, organisations or other entities around called ISIS. One was in the news a few months ago because they'd decided to change their name. I'm sure it'll be a long, long time before any new entity decides to use the name or acronym.

Yes, we send an army of lawyers and they will immediately beg for mercy. Or behead a lot of lawyers.

Changing the name of a registered company is expensive and time consuming so is not to be undertaken lightly. The risk of a little adverse misunderstanding is no doubt preferable to the pain of bankrupting the company crossing out the name and putting in a new one.

The Islamist extremists you refer to have never called themselves ISIS. That acronym (one of a number) is entirely the product of the Anglophone media. Maybe the company in question thinks most people can differentiate between Isis - the Goddess of nature and magic who has been around since 2500BC and some acronym devised in 2014 by a lazy press.
