ALTERNATE NAMES: SAW Group Status: Active The Silent Aryan Warriors (SAW) are a large white supremacist gang based on the streets and behind bars in Utah. Their primary tattoo consists of an Iron Cross with SS lightning bolts and a curved swastika at the center. Four Totenkopfs surround the Iron Cross, while around the image are the German phrases "für immer weiss" and "für immer stolz," which translate to "forever white" and "forever proud."

ALTERNATE NAMES: Parentheses, Parenthesis Multiple parentheses—or the "echo," as it is sometimes referred to—is a typographical practice used by some anti-Semites on-line.  It typically consists of three pairs of parentheses or brackets used around someone's name or around a term or phrase. When used around someone's name—such as (((Natalie Weiss)))—it is intended by the user to indicate to others "in the know" that the person being referred to is Jewish.  When used around a term or phrase—such as (((banker)))—the intent is generally that the word "Jewish" be placed in front of the term or phrase, or simply that the term or phrase is actually synonymous with Jews. Journalists Cooper Fleishman and Anthony Smith traced the origins of this anti-Semitic typographical symbol to a 2014 podcast that used an audio echo as a sound effect when someone on the podcast mentioned a Jewish name.  Other anti-Semites translated the audio echo into a typographical symbol used primarily on social media sites such as Twitter. The use of the echo was relatively uncommon, but in the spring of 2016, some anti-Semites began using the echo when responding to or re-tweeting Jewish journalists, or journalists thought to be Jewish, which brought more attention to the practice. The publicity generated by news coverage of the symbol resulted in a much larger counter-use of the echo, as thousands of anti-hate activists and others began changing their Twitter screen names to echo themselves in an "I am Spartacus" fashion.  Others used inverted parentheses—such as )))Jane Doe(((—for the same purpose. Following this, some anti-Semites began using inverted parentheses themselves, on their own screen names, to indicate that they were not Jewish or were anti-Jewish.  This use of the inverted parentheses has become more common.

ALTERNATE NAMES: Sad Frog Pepe the Frog is a cartoon character that has become a popular Internet meme (often referred to as the "sad frog meme" by people unfamiliar with the name of the character). The character first appeared in 2005 in the on-line cartoon Boy's Club. In that appearance, the character also first used its catchphrase, "feels good, man."The Pepe the Frog character did not originally have racist or anti-Semitic connotations. Internet users appropriated the character and turned him into a meme, placing the frog in a variety of circumstances and saying many different things. Many variations of the meme became rather esoteric, resulting in the phenomenon of so-called "rare Pepes." The majority of uses of Pepe the Frog have been, and continue to be, non-bigoted. However, it was inevitable that, as the meme proliferated in on-line venues such as 4chan, 8chan, and Reddit, which have many users who delight in creating racist memes and imagery, a subset of Pepe memes would come into existence that centered on racist, anti-Semitic or other bigoted themes. In recent years, with the growth of the "alt right" segment of the white supremacist movement, a segment that draws some of its support from some of the above-mentioned Internet sites, the number of "alt right" Pepe memes has grown, a tendency exacerbated by the controversial and contentious 2016 presidential election. Though Pepe memes have many defenders, the use of racist and bigoted versions of Pepe memes seems to be increasing, not decreasing. However, because so many Pepe the Frog memes are not bigoted in nature, it is important to examine use of the meme only in context. The mere fact of posting a Pepe meme does not mean that someone is racist or white supremacist. However, if the meme itself is racist or anti-Semitic in nature, or if it appears in a context containing bigoted or offensive language or symbols, then it may have been used for hateful purposes. In the fall of 2016, the ADL teamed with Pepe creator Matt Furie to form a #SavePepe campaign to reclaim the symbol from those who use it with hateful intentions. Additional Images:

Note: For reasons explained below, particular caution must be used when evaluating this symbol. The “okay” hand gesture—in which the thumb and index finger touch while the other fingers of the hand are held outstretched—is an obvious and ancient gesture that has arisen in many cultures over the years with different meanings. Today, in a usage that dates to at least as early as 17th century Great Britain, it most commonly signals understanding, consent, approval or well-being. Since the early 1800s, the gesture increasingly became associated with the word “okay” and its abbreviation “ok.”  The gesture is also important in the Hindu and Buddhist worlds, as well as in yoga, where it is known as mudra or vitarka mudra, a symbol of inner perfection.  The "okay" hand gesture also forms part of the basis for a number of words or concepts in American Sign Language. It appears in many other contexts as well. Use of the okay symbol in most contexts is entirely innocuous and harmless. In 2017, the “okay” hand gesture acquired a new and different significance thanks to a hoax by members of the website 4chan to falsely promote the gesture as a hate symbol, claiming that the gesture represented the letters “wp,” for “white power.” The “okay” gesture hoax was merely the latest in a series of similar 4chan hoaxes using various innocuous symbols; in each case, the hoaxers hoped that the media and liberals would overreact by condemning a common image as white supremacist. In the case of the “okay” gesture, the hoax was so successful the symbol became a popular trolling tactic on the part of right-leaning individuals, who would often post photos to social media of themselves posing while making the “okay” gesture. Ironically, some white supremacists themselves soon also participated in such trolling tactics, lending an actual credence to those who labeled the trolling gesture as racist in nature. By 2019, at least some white supremacists seem to have abandoned the ironic or satiric intent behind the original trolling campaign and used the symbol as a sincere expression of white supremacy, such as when Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant flashed the symbol during a March 2019 courtroom appearance soon after his arrest for allegedly murdering 50 people in a shooting spree at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The overwhelming usage of the “okay” hand gesture today is still its traditional purpose as a gesture signifying assent or approval. As a result, someone who uses the symbol cannot be assumed to be using the symbol in either a trolling or, especially, white supremacist context unless other contextual evidence exists to support the contention. Since 2017, many people have been falsely accused of being racist or white supremacist for using the “okay” gesture in its traditional and innocuous sense. Other, similar-seeming hand gestures have also been mistakenly assumed to have white supremacist connotations as a result of the “okay” hoax. One of these is the so-called “Circle Game,” in which people attempt to trick each other into looking at an okay-like hand gesture made somewhere below the waist. Another is the hand sign of the Three Percenter movement, a wing of the anti-government extremist militia movement. Three Percenters, who are right-wing extremists but are not typically white supremacists, often make a hand gesture to symbolize their movement that uses the outstretched middle, ring, and pinky fingers to represent a Roman numeral “3.” This gesture, from certain angles, can often resemble an “okay” hand gesture and has been misinterpreted by some as a white supremacist symbol. Because of the traditional meaning of the “okay” hand gesture, as well as other usages unrelated to white supremacy, particular care must be taken not to jump to conclusions about the intent behind someone who has used the gesture.

The number 13 used in conjunction with either the number 52 or the number 90 is a shorthand reference to racist propaganda claims by white supremacists against African-Americans to depict them as savage and criminal in nature. In this numeric shorthand, the number 13 refers to the purported percentage of the U.S. population that is African-American.  The number 52 refers to the alleged percentage of all murders committed in the U.S. that are committed by African-Americans.  Some white supremacists use the number 50 instead of 52. Similarly, white supremacists claim the number 90 refers to the percentage of violent interracial crime allegedly committed by African-Americans. Some white supremacists cite the 1994 National Crime Victimization Survey produced by the Justice Department as evidence for the percentage.  However, this figure does not show up in the survey itself and is not considered an accurate one. In any case, it should be noted that the vast majority of violent crime is intraracial (committed by a person of one race against a person of the same race), not interracial, in nature. White supremacists typically employ references to 13 (by itself), 13/50, 13/52 or 13/90 in response to social media posts, and in the comments sections of news stories about crimes in which the suspected perpetrator is African-American. In some instances, white supremacists use the numbers as a purported police radio code, using language like, “We have a 1390 in progress.” Additional Images: More From This Section Hate Symbol You Will Not Replace Us Read more about You Will Not Replace Us Hate Symbol White Lives Matter Read more about White Lives Matter Hate Symbol We Wuz Kangs Read more about We Wuz Kangs Hate Symbol Women for Aryan Unity Read more about Women for Aryan Unity Hate Symbol Vanguard America Read more about Vanguard America Hate Symbol Trollface (Racist Versions) Read more about Trollface (Racist Versions) Hate Symbol The Goyim Know/Shut It Down Read more about The Goyim Know/Shut It Down Hate Symbol St. Michael’s Cross Read more about St. Michael’s Cross Hate Symbol Six Gorillion Read more about Six Gorillion View More

The number 109 is white supremacist numeric shorthand for an anti-Semitic claim that Jews have been expelled from 109 different countries.  Various anti-Semites have compiled lists of alleged Jewish “expulsions” ranging from 100 to more than 1,000 in number, but the figure of 109 is the most commonly cited and probably originates with a list of “109 locations” appearing on a longstanding Australian anti-Semitic website. Anti-Semites use this purported figure to claim that Jews must be a malicious and harmful people to have been expelled from so many places; they also use the figure to call for the expulsion of Jews from countries where they currently live. The concept of 109 expulsions has also led to frequent use of the number 110 by white supremacists, generally to urge that the United States or some other specific location be the next and 110th place to expel Jews. This is sometimes combined with the numeric code 1488, appearing as “1488-110.” Such usage is often associated with members of the white supremacist group League of the South.

ALTERNATE NAMES: AIM Group Status: Defunct American Identity Movement (AIM), an alt right white supremacist group formerly known as Identity Evropa, was disbanded in November 2020. AIM’s decline began in November 2019 after the group’s leader, Patrick Casey, began to collaborate with “America First” podcaster Nick Fuentes and his Groyper Army. The American Identity Movement (AIM) was an alt right white supremacist group that began in 2019 as a rebranding of Identity Evropa, one of the largest groups within the alt right segment of the white supremacist movement. Identity Evropa, which itself only originated in 2016, quickly developed a significant negative reputation due to its participation in the 2017 Unite the Right white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, among other events. Many members were publicly exposed or “doxed” by antifa activists in the wake of Unite the Right. In March 2019, Patrick Casey, head of Identity Evropa, announced the disbandment of IE and the formation of AIM, an ostensibly completely different group, though Casey immediately invited all Identity Evropa members to join.  For all practical purposes, AIM is essentially Identity Evropa with a new name and logo.

Although white supremacist animus is often thought of as being directed against religious, racial and ethnic minorities, a significant portion of their hateful rhetoric is directed against the political left, including both the mainstream and far left.  For example, a common alt right meme offers “free helicopter rides” to people on the left, a reference to the tactic used by right-wing dictatorships in Argentina and Chile of throwing left-wing critics of the regime from helicopters. White supremacist anti-left (or sinistrophobic) symbology especially targets far left and anarchist activists who have dedicated themselves to actively opposing and exposing white supremacists.  In the 1990s and 2000s, for example, white supremacists created images that targeted anti-racist skinheads known as SHARPS (for “Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice”), such as placing a red circle and diagonal bar, or a gun sight, on top of an image of a Trojan helmet (a common SHARP symbol). More recently, white supremacists have created similar imagery directed against antifa (short for anti-fascist), the loosely-organized left-wing and anarchist anti-racist movement.  White supremacists have coined the term “anti-antifa” for themselves.  Some anti-antifa symbology simply re-imagines earlier anti-SHARP imagery, such as overlaying a red circle and diagonal bar on top of a common antifa symbols such as side-by-side red or red and black flags (derived from the logo of the 1930s German anti-fascist group Antifaschistische Aktion) or three downward-facing arrows (originating with German and Austrian Social Democrats opposing Nazism in the 1930s). Other anti-antifa symbology perverts common antifa slogans and logos, such as changing “Good Night White Pride” to “Good Night Left Side.”  Often anti-antifa symbology implicitly or explicitly promotes violence against left-wing activists.

The phrase “anudda Shoah” (sometimes spelled “anuddah Shoah”) is an anti-Semitic phrase that became popular among white supremacists in 2014 and increasingly thereafter, particularly among adherents of the alt right segment of the white supremacist movement. “Shoah” is a Hebrew word meaning “catastrophe” and is one of the most common terms used to refer to the Holocaust.  White supremacists use the phrase “anudda Shoah” to mock both Jews and the Holocaust, intending the phrase to be understood as spoken by a Jewish person with a heavy Yiddish accent comparing the Holocaust to virtually anything they may be unhappy about. Common examples of this usage include language such as “Oy vey! It’s anudda Shoah!” or “It’s like anudda Shoah!” or “It’s literally anudda Shoah!”  This language is usually used as a response to something trivial, to imply that Jews will bring up the Holocaust over practically any issue, as in this example: “Oy vey, they made us play soccer. It’s like anudda shoah!” When used as a meme, “anudda Shoah” is often combined with The Happy Merchant. Additional Images:

Group Status: Current Atomwaffen Division is a neo-Nazi group that emerged in 2016, created by members of Iron March, a now-defunct white supremacist discussion forum. It was one of several new neo-Nazi groups whose rise paralleled the post-2015 growth of the alt right segment of the white supremacist movement. Atomwaffen distinguishes itself by its extreme rhetoric, influenced by the writings of a neo-Nazi of an earlier generation, James Mason, who admired Charles Manson and supported the idea of lone wolf violence. Members of Atomwaffen have already been connected to several murders in the group’s short history. Atomwaffen is the German phrase for “atomic weapons” and the Atomwaffen logo consists of a Waffen SS divisional insignia shield featuring a trefoil, the traditional symbol used to warn of ionizing radiation. Often, though not always, the shield is surrounded by a garland (a common garnish to many white supremacist logos).  The Atomwaffen flag features the shield and wreath in the center of the flag, over a black background, with four yellow rays stretching out from the shield/garland towards each flag corner.

After white supremacist Dylann Roof’s 2015 attack at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, many white supremacists tried to distance themselves from the attack or to claim it was a “false flag” operation designed to enable a crackdown on white supremacists. Since 2017, however, an increasing number of mostly younger white supremacists have not only applauded Roof’s attack but have openly promoted him as a hero, or even as a “saint.” Roof venerators often use Roof’s distinctive bowl-shaped haircut to refer to themselves and like-minded fans. This includes using word “bowl” as part of a screen name such as “Bowltrash” or “The Final Bowlution,” or collectively referring to themselves using terms such as the “Bowl Gang” or “Bowlwaffen Division.”  They may also use slang terms such as “Take the bowl pill” or “disrespect the bowl, pay the toll.” Some use phrases such as “take me to church” or “take them to church” as coded references for violence. Roof promoters also create and share Roof-related memes across the Internet, including depictions of Roof as a saintly figure with a halo around his head.  Even more common are memes featuring Roof’s bowl haircut, either by itself or digitally affixed to other people’s heads. In one shared image, Roof’s haircut has been superimposed on a shield designed to resemble the divisional insignia of Waffen SS military units of Nazi Germany. More recent white supremacist killers such as Robert Bowers, who conducted a shooting spree at a Pittsburgh synagogue in October 2018, and, especially, Brenton Tarrant, the Australian white supremacist who launched a shooting spree targeting mosques in New Zealand in March 2019, have similarly attracted the attention of white supremacist meme propagators.

Since the early 1900s, Ku Klux Klan groups have burned crosses at many of their private and public events. They have also burned crosses on others’ property in acts of hateful intimidation. Today, the burning cross remains a very common white supremacist symbol. Since at least the 1970s, there have been also been occasional instances of burning swastikas placed on property to intimidate and threaten people or institutions. The targets of these tactics were often Jewish. In the 1990s, some neo-Nazis began burning swastikas at their own events, directly emulating Ku Klux Klan cross burnings.  This may have started with swastika burnings alongside cross-burnings at joint Nazi-Klan events. In the 2000s, the National Socialist Movement became the neo-Nazi group most associated with burning symbols at its events. White supremacists also expanded the range of symbols that could be burned to include the Othala rune, the life rune, the triskele and the Celtic Cross, among others. Additional Images:

Group Status: Current The Daily Stormer is a virulently racist and anti-Semitic website created by Andrew Anglin and associated with the alt right segment of the white supremacist movement. In 2016, Anglin decided to capitalize on the site’s popularity with younger white supremacists by promoting the concept of Daily Stormer Book Clubs, which were imagined as localized groups of male white supremacists who meet socially and engage in white supremacist activity, including preparing for “the coming race war.” The Book Clubs’ logo consists of an open book flanked by two crossed clubs with spikes in them, surrounded by garlands. The words “Stormer Book Club” appear at the top.  The Daily Stormer mandated that, when appearing in public, Book Club members adopt a “uniform” of red sneakers, jeans, a white t-shirt, and an American flag bandana. Not all members necessarily follow the dress code. Since 2016, Daily Stormer Book Clubs have popped up in at least sixteen states, though many have been short-lived.  The most common type of activity by members has been posting or distributing white supremacist propaganda.

The “Day of the Rope” is a white supremacist concept taken from The Turner Diaries, a fictionalized blueprint for a white supremacist revolution written in 1978 by neo-Nazi leader William Pierce (under the pseudonym “Andrew Macdonald”).  The novel influenced many violent right-wing extremists from the 1980s through the 2010s, including Timothy McVeigh. In the novel, white supremacist rebels, having taken control of California, engage in mass lynchings of purported “race traitors” such as journalists, politicians, and women in relationships with non-white men. These murders, which take place on the same day, are referred to in the novel as the “Day of the Rope.” By the 1990s, the “Day of the Rope” had become a concept well-known across the white supremacist movement, even to the extent that a white supremacist business selling white power music CDs and racist paraphernalia named itself “Day of the Rope Productions.”  A 1994 song from white power band Bound for Glory contained the lyrics, “Politicians to Pope, there’ll be no hope/There is no escaping the Day of the Rope.”  During the early 2000s, the term was borrowed for a series of white supremacist music compilations from Eastern Europe. Within a few years, “Day of the Rope” became a popular white supremacist slogan on social media websites, as did the phrase “There is no escaping the Day of the Rope,” the latter even appearing on a white supremacist flyer created by the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen. Another variation is “The Day of the Rope is coming.” Additional Images:

The phrase “Diversity = White Genocide” is a white supremacist slogan coined by disciples of Bob Whitaker, a former Republican congressional aide and Reagan administration appointee who later embraced white supremacy and began writing for neo-Nazi publications. Whitaker emphasized the tactic of adopting simple slogans and endlessly repeating them; his followers took him at his word, making up several slogans and promoting them constantly. The first such slogan was “Anti-racist is a code for anti-white,” but the similar phrase “Diversity is a code word for white genocide” soon followed. Eventually some shortened the phrase to “Diversity = White Genocide,” while others created variants, such as “Diversity means chasing down the last white person.” Tree of Life synagogue shooter Robert Bowers, among others, have used the phrase; Bowers included it in one of his posts to the social media platform Gab. As the phrase “white genocide” itself has become more popular among white supremacists in recent years, “Diversity = White Genocide” and its variants have also become more common. Additional Images:

Fasces are bound bundles of sticks or rods into which an axe is inserted or to which an axe is tied. The symbol dates to ancient Rome, whose leaders used it as a symbol of authority and power. This symbolism long survived the Roman Republic and Roman Empire, becoming an element of heraldry as well as a symbol of governmental authority. The United States draws a considerable amount of its own symbology from classical antiquity, including the fasces, which has been used as a symbol by military units, government agencies, and even the House of Representatives.  For many years, the fasces appeared on the so-called Mercury dime. However, the fasces came to be associated with right-wing extremism in the early 20th century when it was adopted by Benito Mussolini for his fascist movement (the term “fascism” itself is derived from the word “fasces”).  The fasces became the most well-known symbol of fascist Italy, and thus of fascism itself. In the decades after World War II, many Nazi symbols were adopted by American neo-Nazis, but the fasces did not experience the same popularity, although occasionally American extremists of Italian descent displayed the flag of the Italian Social Republic (RSI), the puppet government created by the Nazis in northern Italy with Mussolini at its head during the period 1943-45. One of the flags of the RSI combined the traditional Italian flag of the Kingdom of Italy with an eagle grasping a fasces. Beginning in the late 2000s, more American white supremacists turned to the fasces as a symbol, possibly because it did not have the strong negative connotations of the swastika and because extremists could defend their use of the fasces by pointing to its role in the symbology of the U.S. government.   White supremacist groups such as Youth for Western Civilization, Southern White Alliance, Vanguard America, Patriot Front and the National Socialist Movement have all used the fasces as part of their group logos at various times.

ALTERNATE NAMES: GTK GTKRWN (also GTK RWN) is a white supremacist acronym for the racist and anti-Semitic slogan “Gas the Kikes; Race War Now.” Occasionally, white supremacists may only use the first part of the acronym: GTK.  The slogan appears to have been created around 2014 and is most associated with the alt right and neo-Nazi segments of the white supremacist movement. The phrase is used as a “call to action” slogan by some white supremacists, but some others use the acronym to describe a certain portion of the white supremacist movement itself. In this latter context, the acronym is typically used as a somewhat negative reference to less sophisticated and more headstrong, outspoken or crudely violent white supremacists. For example, one 8Chan user admiringly posted in June 2018 about people able understand Nazism “beyond GTKRWN and Hitler pictures.” Additional Images:

ALTERNATE NAMES: Jew Face, Merchant Face, Le Happy Merchant The “Happy Merchant” is an anti-Semitic meme depicting a drawing of a Jewish man with heavily stereotyped facial features who is greedily rubbing his hands together.  The meme is by far the most popular anti-Semitic meme among white supremacists, who have created a nearly endless series of images and variants featuring the “Happy Merchant.” The meme originated with pen-and-ink artwork by a racist cartoonist who used the pseudonym “A. Wyatt Mann,” exposed by Buzzfeed reporter Joseph Bernstein in 2015 as actually being artist Nick Bougas (allegations of Bougas’ authorship had long predated Bernstein’s article). Mann became known for his grotesquely racist and anti-Semitic cartoons in the 1980s and 1990s, many of which first appeared in newsletters published by longtime white supremacist Tom Metzger. The original cartoon featured the Happy Merchant image and a similarly bigoted drawing of an African-American, as well as images of a rat and a cockroach. The cartoon contained a racist assertion that substituted the images for certain words to read: “A world without [Jews] and [blacks] would be like a world without [rats] and [cockroaches].”  According to the Australian non-profit Online Hate Prevention Institute, this cartoon appeared on Metzger’s website at least as early as 2004 (its first appearance in print was likely earlier). At some point—Bernstein suggests as early as 2001—someone cropped out all but the Jewish man from the cartoon and uploaded it to the Internet, where it became particularly popular on forums such as 4chan, whose users began modifying and spreading it. It eventually gained the name “Happy Merchant.” It has also been called “Le Happy Merchant,” “Merchant Face” and “Jew Face.” The Happy Merchant has become nearly ubiquitous in modern online white supremacist and anti-Semitic iconography. A 2018 study by scholars examining memes displayed in various online communities determined that the Happy Merchant was among the most popular memes on both 4chan and Gab, two major online outlets for alt right expression.

The Identitarian lambda is a symbol used by individuals and groups who identify themselves with Identitarianism, a racist, anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant movement that originated in France and spread to other countries in Europe and, eventually, the United States. Identitarianism is roughly analogous to the alt right segment of the white supremacist movement in the United States. Some European Identitarians, such as the group Generation Identity/Génération Identitaire, which has chapters in several western European countries, adopted the Greek letter lambda (ʌ) as a symbol.  Ancient Spartans displayed the letter on their shields at the Battle of Thermopylae in the 5th century B.C (it stood for Lacedaemon, another name for Sparta).  White supremacists and other western chauvinists in the United States and Europe place considerable symbolic significance on this ancient battle between the Greeks and Persians, which they view as the defense of Europe from an alien invasion from the Middle East. The group Generation Identity has claimed that the top of the lambda stands for “the metapolitical centre that we want to conquer, with the Identitarian movement as the spearhead.” As displayed by Identitarians, the lambda is usually encased in a circle.  Identitarian lambda flags are typically black on yellow or yellow on black. However, other color combinations are also used. Though the symbol originated in Europe, Identitarian lambda flags are sold in the United States, especially through online sellers. The Identitarian lambda emblem bears a superficial similarity to the logo of Overwatch, a popular video game; the two should not be confused because the Overwatch game (and its logo) have no connection to white supremacy.

Group Status: Legacy (the group is no longer active but some symbols may remain as tattoos, graffiti, etc.) Identity Evropa is a now-defunct white supremacist group that started in 2016 as one of the most active groups of the alt right segment of the white supremacist movement.  It achieved notoriety for its participation in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. In part because of negative publicity surrounding the group, in 2019 its leadership dissolved Identity Evropa and reformed it as a new group, the American Identitarian Movement (AIM). The Identity Evropa logo consisted of three teal and white triangles that combined to form a larger triangle. Identity Evropa members referred to their logo as a dragon’s eye, which they claimed was an ancient European symbol representing a choice between good and evil. Because Identity Evropa has become AIM, its logo is now a legacy symbol—a symbol not actively promoted but which nevertheless may possibly be found on clothing, literature or other items associated with the former group that are still in use.
