Am I the only one who thinks the 86 emblem looks like a swastika? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just a random thought......

This has already been discussed and yeah a lot of people think it does.

MY13FRS · 11-14-2012, 11:02 PM

Yes. It's embarrassing.

White Shadow · 11-14-2012, 11:04 PM

I don't really see it. I mean, maybe if I squint and use my imagination, but really, nope...don't see it.

No, I never thought of that. However, every time I see it I sort-of chuckle because I don't think of 86. I think of BS.

I had one gentleman who approached me that thought it was "SS". Glad he pointed out that he thought that because of the emblems, because I thought he was just really dumb before that. "Hey, how ya like your Scion SS?" Me: "Umm... you mean FR-S?" LOL...

Ever since then, I can't unsee it.

They could have just used a space even a thin line to separate the 8 and 6 and this would not have been an issue should have asked a few random people if they could read it I had to google it after I bought the car because I wasn't sure and I remember the ae86 as the Corolla gts

gee, I guess marketing at toyota forgot to take into account the severe culturally debilitating disease known as ignorance. We should write them a letter to inform them that their logo contains an ordered array of lines that abstractly almost looks like a swastika to people who go around trying to find things that look like swastikas.

Ignorant.

Heard it 3 times the first week I bought the car. I'm thinking of putting a small "86" decal under it so people "get it". Maybe not.
