giving Hyatt the power of veto over the use of images and iconography within its venues. It's been suggested that, were the rune a swastika, the conversation would be different. I totally agree, but I also think that being more or less well-known isn't the issue.

It's not like it's a totally obscure design, used only rarely by a certain group within the Reich's armed forces. There must be thousands of pictures in which this rune figures, whether prominently, or even at all.
