It's just a logo that's built around single triangle. It's like saying ACDC band promotes nazi ideology because it has a lightning symbol and gothic looking letters in their logo

It's clear these Linux logos weren't done by professionals and by some examples not even with serious usage intent

Most of the Arch Linux proposed logos are some dreary variation on the letter A. The pimp hat proposal is more meaningful.

I also like Skeletor but he is unfortunately © Mattel.
