This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wow, the first VW logo was a spinning swastika.
It's shocking indeed but not really surprising. Volkswagen was founded under the nazi regime as a state-owned company by Hitler's initiative.
Haha, I actually didn't even notice that on the first look. I saw the spinning prop blades them and BMW were after (though the swastika is another likely design influence)
