All the symbols depicted in the hate symbols database must be evaluated in the context in which they appear. Few symbols represent just one idea or are used exclusively by one group. For example, 100% is often used as an amount or an expression and it is also used by some white supremacists as shorthand for "100% white." Similarly, other symbols in this database may be significant to people who are not extreme or racist. The descriptions here point out significant multiple meanings but may not be able to relay every possible meaning of a particular symbol.

Blood & Honour (the British spelling is typically used, even in the United States) is an international racist skinhead umbrella group started decades ago by British white supremacist and singer Ian Stuart Donaldson. It has chapters or associated groups around the world, primarily in Europe. Several American white supremacist groups proclaim an association with Blood & Honour, as do many individual white supremacists. Because of the latter, use of the Blood & Honour logo does not necessarily connote membership in a particular group.
The Blood & Honour logo consists of the words "blood" and "honour" with a triskele symbol in place of an ampersand. Variations on this theme are common, such as the use of a Totenkopf symbol in place of, or in addition to, the triskele. Blood & Honour supporters also frequently use the letters B and H, their alphanumeric equivalents 2 and 8 or 28, and sometimes the original German term, "Blut und Ehre."
