i like it

Question is WHO is promoting this and for what reasons. From a symbologistic perspective it does not look healthy or positive in any way, but like a B stabbed in the back. The currently dominating symbol with the two rays on the bottom and two on top looks much more balanced and 'healthy' - a bit like those images of space-alines on ancient rock carvings
