Every time I see circular repetition of four L shapes, it always evokes the swastika association for me.

God dammit. So frustrating. I thought the length of the lines and the tightness of them would help remove that connotation.

I don't see it (swastika I mean). And besides, the swastika was a Hindi good luck symbol, can't we go back to that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika I do see a native american style spiral in this, myself. Having an organic, geometric symbol is going to remind people of all sorts of ancient marks. Don't worry, be happy! %3B)

Trish, this might be a difference between being European and American/Asian. Even though I am (of course) aware of Hindu origins of the sign, it will always be strongly associated with Nazi for me. I am not that old but the impact of the war is still quite tangible.
