Not that I care much, but I can't help it: this new symbol looks very much like the infamous SS Bolts: http://www.adl.org/combating-hate/hate-on-display/c/ss-bolts.html#.VPSXeFX3-...
Yes, it could be mistaken for a sig rune although it clearly differs (the rune is not formed as an arrow on the bottom but is symmetric). I would not use two of this or similar symbols side by side because it could easily be seen as a political statement I definitely don't want to make. But on the other hand there are a lot of other (admittedly less known) runes and symbols used by the SS or other Nazi organizations that we use on a daily basis probably without even knowing it... (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runic_insignia_of_the_Schutzstaffel#mediaviewe...)
So thanks for bringing this up - it is a valid concern - but I draw the line not to cross elsewhere.
