There's only one swastikoid logo more swastikier and cockier than the Sun logo, and that's Slack's infamous Penis Swastika Logo.

>Slack added: ‘The important thing about being a brand is that whenever people see you in the wild, they should recognize that it’s you.’

>So naturally, it decided to launch a new icon which has now been roundly roasted across the internet and compared to four phalluses arranged in the shape of a symbol that’s forever associated with the Nazi.

>Designer T Carter Baxter tweeted: ‘I know people at Slack and I know they’re smart, capable and caring people. But once you hear “swastika made of dicks” it’s kind of over for the new logo.’

I do respect that Slack stuck to their guns, so to speak.
