The ~A~ symbol

[Deibel]

I have been thinking about the ayu's symbol.

Is her symbol since the beggining? Who has designed it? And when?
Is a original symbol really, and very personal.

(Maybe someone have asked this before, and if it's like this, sorry!)

[crea_spain]

I think she even had this ~A~ logo in her IDOL era so maybe it was designed by herself (?)

[AyUta]

I've always thought about that symbol. I wonder...

[GRACE]

I'm pretty sure the first time she used the "A" logo was the A Single A, and then it was changed into what we see today.

Anyone else notice it looks like that Hitler plus-sign thing?

[U-GO-BOY]

^ oO"" wut? xD

it was created by someone in her LOVEppears era, I think

you are seeing things that only you want to see...it does NOT in any way, shape or form look like a shwashtica...

@GRACE: Ah, swastika, that's it in English.

LOL funny how my dad made the comment, too.

@ownsarai: Actually if you're not seeing it than you're not seeing what you don't want to see, because, well, it's FACT that it resembles a swastika if you take away a small part of the logo. =)

My friend's brother pointed that out to me when he saw my PDCL phone strap last week.

@^: Haha, funny I'm not the only one.

Actually it's interesting considering Japan was allies with Germany. XD

Actually, you could say that it looks like a symbol for Buddhism instead, since that's where the Swastika comes from. :rollseyes

[ownsarai]

Whatever, I don't see it Melrose...I see an A, in a unique shape.

exactly, people seem to think the nazis invented or something @_@
i once had a little charm of it, but it was a buddhist symbol...but now i don't use it >_<

does anyone know who create all those animations of the A at AT06 then?

[jimex289]

Lol maybe some parts of it resemble the swastika like the curves. Overall I don't see any resemblance. She's obviously got more than one A symbol too. I guess everyone refers to the main one when they talk "A symbol".

[amorphose]

LMAO @ the swastika comments!
My friend was watching the AT08 performance of Mirrorcle World with me and thoguht the "A" on her hat was a swastika. I don't really see it, but I guess there must be some resemblance if she wasn't the only one who thought that.

[ohsixthirty]

well, i heard it was made originally for the A single, but the idea was to combine the A from Ayumi with the Pi symbol because the A single was about patterns. thats why the songs on there repeated. like song 1, song 2, song 3, remix song 1, remix song 2, remix song 3, another remix of song 1, another remix of song 2, etc...

[dreamland2.0]

OMG my Mum said the exact same thing! that it looked like a swastika and that if I wore my armband to school I'd be arrested or something!
I think it looks like an "A"

[ohsixthirty]

i don't see any resemblance at all...

[ownsarai]

^Exactly. I think SOMEBODY just wanted some attention...
