 A US clothing company has come under fire after T-shirts appeared online featuring swastikas in a move aimed at reclaiming the symbol as one of "love". 
  
 The attempt to rebrand the Nazi emblem as a symbol of "peace" was criticised on social media as the public refused to support the campaign. 
  
 Days after the design appeared, it was replaced with an "anti-swastika" print. 
  
 The swastika is an ancient symbol said to have represented good fortune in almost every culture in the world. 
  
 It was adopted by Adolf Hitler, thousands of years after it was first used, transforming it into a symbol of hate associated with the Third Reich. 
  
 As a fashion symbol, it was likely to prove difficult to persuade the public to get behind this clothing company's vision in working to change these perceptions. 
  
 But does this latest backlash prove that there is a line that should not be crossed - even in the publicity hungry world marketing? Or does the fact that the campaign has made the news make it a success? 
  
 What were they thinking? 
  
 It is hard to tell. 
  
 In an interview with Dazed and Confused magazine published on Sunday, the company behind the campaign, KA Designs, said that they hoped to "share the beauty of this symbol detached from the hatred associated with it". 
  
 The company said that none of its staff had experience in the fashion industry and that the design was "nothing new". 
  
 It added that it "wouldn't care" if the products were purchased by "some kind of neo-Nazi" because the message was that "peace, love and freedom win over hatred, war and prejudice". 
  
 "The swastika is coming back, together with peace, together with love, together with respect, together with Freedom," the company said in a video posted on Facebook, adding: "Introducing the new swastika." 
  
 Who would wear these shirts? 
  
 The eight-colour rainbow design, originally created in 1978 by the late San Francisco-based artist Gilbert Baker as a symbol for the gay community, is aimed at anyone who supports the LGBT movement. 
  
 However, incorporating this into a swastika design has been rejected by those it was supposed to appeal to. 
  
 Social media was abuzz on Monday with Twitter users labelling the campaign "obscene", "disgusting" and "offensive". 
  
 Others, while admitting that the swastika was originally a symbol of peace, said that it was not possible to "escape" the fact that it had become a "symbol of hate". 
  
 So is there such thing as bad publicity? 
  
 In what appears to be a complete U-turn as far as "reclaiming the swastika" goes, the original rainbow designs were replaced days after appearing online with a new "anti-swastika" range of merchandise. 
  
 Whether this entire episode serves the clothing company well with the promotion and sales of its amended design remains to be seen. The brand has yet to share information on its sales figures.

 "There are certain things to avoid in marketing, this is one of those things," says Rebecca Battman, head of brand at RBL Brand Agency in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. 
  
 When considering campaigns such as this, Ms Battman says, brands need to be conscious of the "emotional impact" of negatively perceived symbols. 
  
 She said that it is not enough to simply twist a symbol like the swastika in the hope of putting a positive spin on it because there is likely to be a "subconscious, deep-rooted sentiment against what the symbol now represents". 
  
 "There were bound to be groups that would find this [campaign] negative, they should have done some market testing." 
  
 "It may be that this company wanted the notoriety on social media," Ms Battman says, "but it seems very naive". 
  
 Ms Battman said that if a brand is considering a controversial marketing campaign on social media: "You do so at your peril". 
  
 History of the swastika 
  
 The swastika, which means "well-being" in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, was used by the Ancient Greeks, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons. 
  
 It is believed that the symbol was used at least 4,000 years before it was adopted by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s and appeared on the Nazi flag. 
  
 The black straight-armed hakenkreuz (hooked cross) on the distinctive white circle and red background of the Nazi flag is now inextricably linked to the atrocities committed under the Third Reich. 
  
 The swastika was banned in Germany at the end of the war and Germany tried unsuccessfully to introduce an EU-wide ban in 2007. 
  
 Controversial costumes 
  
 Last year, an online retailer was forced to withdraw a Halloween costume inspired by Kim Kardashian West's robbery ordeal in Paris in which she was tied up and held at gunpoint. 
  
 In 2015, US supermarket Walmart sparked controversy by stocking an Israeli army costume for children amid spiralling violence between Israel and the Palestinians. 
  
 In 2012, the owners of an Indian clothing store called Hitler caved in to pressure and changed the name after receiving complaints. ||||| KA Design are a new clothing company based "somewhere in Europe" who appear to be on a mission to repurpose the swastika symbol. Associated with Nazism since Hitler used it as part of his “Aryan identity” propaganda, the swastika's roots actually stretch as far back as 5,000 years. For centuries in India it was known as a symbol of good fortune. 
  
 However, KA Design are messy af, and they're currently going viral for all the wrong reasons. On a selection of grey t-shirts and sweatshirts they've stuck the swastika against a rainbow background, which they say symbolises the LGBT movement, and are calling their symbol the "new swastika". 
  
 They've totally failed to recognise how problematic it is to be selling a t-shirt of this nature in Europe, where the wounds of Nazism are so fresh. Not only is it incredibly disrespectful to Jewish communities, it could also be looked at as being culturally appropriative from the Indian and Indonesian communities where it originates. 
  
 The swastika is still banned in Germany, and there were calls for that ban to be extended Europe-wide some years ago. It's also still used as a hate-symbol by neo-Nazis in many countries. In London there are often reports of the swastika being graffitied in Jewish areas. 
  
 With cringey "zen", "love" and "peace" slogans, slapped on them as well our guess is that the $20 tees won't be selling out anytime soon. The idea is both crass and badly excecuted, even if KA do have good intentions. 
  
 Thankfully, at the moment the brand is being heavily schooled and trolled on Facebook, but Dazed decided to ask them a little bit more about their gross, controversial t-shirts (spoiler: none of the team are fashion designers). 
  
 Why do you think it's the right time to reclaim the swastika? 
  
 KA Designs: There is not a right time to reclaim the Swastika, or anything in general. Here at KA Design we think freedom is the most fundamental value to build our life upon. We could have made the decision to, as you say, "reclaim" the Swastika 10 years from now or 10 years ago. Or even the day after the fall of Nazism. We really like the symbol in its shape and aesthetics, and we would love to share the beauty of this symbol detached from the Hatred associated with it. This project only represents the first step of our "master plan", and we are excited about what the future will give us. 
  
  
  
 What makes the designs original? Who came up with them? 
  
  
  
 KA Designs: There is nothing new in the designs we have created. At the same time, they're totally innovative and original. The originality of the designs is caused by the unexpected association of meanings. People have never seen the colours from the peace flag (or from the LGBT community) and a Swastika (especially the one rotated by 45° used by Nazis) together. The final result is eye-catching and it is the cause of our campaign going viral. 
  
 What are your backgrounds in fashion? 
  
 KA Designs: Nobody here has previously worked in the fashion industry. On the other hand, everyone is highly interested in aesthetics and in the cult of beauty. We don't consider ourselves as skilled fashion designers, but more as artists and free thinkers in general. 
  
  
  
 How would you feel if the t-shirts were just bought by Nazis? 
  
  
  
 KA Designs: We wouldn't care. The aim of this project is not to generate profit, whatever the source of the money. Absolutely not. We think the message on our apparel is clear: peace, love and freedom win over hatred, war and prejudice. If some kind of neo-Nazi goes out wearing our shirt, he will raise the same kind of questions and discussions as a communist wearing the same shirt. That's why we don't care about who buys the shirts. 
  
  
  
 What do you say to the people who are offended by the images? 
  
  
  
 KA Designs: Here at KA Design we respect everyone's opinion. We don't want to be hypocrite. Freedom is a human value that should be equally shared by everyone. Considering the reactions to our campaign, we notice that people feel unsecure and even offended by our products. We understand every single one of these people. They don't want to break the strong bond between the symbol and the atrocities committed by Nazism. They all think we want to completely erase from the minds of everyone these facts. 
  
 In reality, we want to do the opposite. Us and them, we are on the same side, fighting for the same ideals.The new meanings given to "our Swastika" wouldn't make any sense if not based on the previous ones. We want to promote love and peace to remind everyone that mankind can be better that what it currently is and was in the past. It's not in our interest making everyone forget about this past. 
  
  
  
 Is there anything offensive that we can't reclaim? 
  
  
  
 KA Designs: We are free to reclaim whatever we want. However, it is very important to find the right way to do it without forgetting why this something is being reclaimed. 
  
  
  
 How are sales? 
  
  
  
 KA Designs: We can't tell you much about this aspect. It's natural to think that considering the context and the political and moral subject of our designs we can't expect more. People have never seen anything even resembling a Swastika in the fashion world for so much time and maybe that is one important reason for so many to be scared or hate what we offer. They don't feel free to wear this kind of apparel. We hope something will change in the future. 
  
  
  
 What's next? 
  
  
  
 KA Designs: We have some plans for the future that we are not going to reveal. We hope to be able to extend our Swastika line to new design concept and colors, while keeping our current peace message. Our dream is to feel free to use this symbol without any kind of limitation, however we prefer. We will also release some designs that don't involve a Swastika or anything similar. |||||

A design company hoping to rebrand the swastika as a symbol of peace and love is feeling quite the opposite on social media. Per the BBC, KA Design’s shirts featuring a swastika next to words like “zen” and “peace” have been pulled from its online shop after an uproar. In an interview with Dazed, KA Design says that the design’s juxtaposition of swastikas emblazoned over rainbows evoking peace flags and the LGBTQ movement is meant to reclaim the controversial symbol: “We really like the symbol in its shape and aesthetics, and we would love to share the beauty of this symbol detached from the hatred associated with it.” The swastika, which means well-being in Sanskrit, had been used for at least 4,000 years across many cultures before it was co-opted in the 1930s by Adolf Hitler and used on the Nazi flag. But few are sharing the company’s zeal for bringing back the symbol. KA Design told Dazed that it couldn’t disclose information on sales, but that since people don’t normally see swastikas in a fashion context, they may not feel comfortable wearing one on a shirt. User feedback on the company’s Facebook page suggests, however, people are irate that the shirts were made in the first place. A video released by KA Design in July championing its effort has more than 2 million views, but seems to be going viral for all the wrong reasons. Comments ranged from disbelief to outrage, with one user summing it up thusly: “this absurd new design company has 2 million views on their Facebook, and about 11,000 angry comments.” The company posted a message about the backlash Monday, saying that hatred and "Nazism" had won: “We brought out the worst in people. We believe in a world of infinite forgiveness. We forgive everyone. And we hope to be forgiven.”
