There are two arrows, one pointing left and one pointing right. Guess which one means go back and which one means go forward. You see this usage on software interfaces of all kinds. Left pointing arrow means go back. Right pointing arrow means go forward. The circular arrow means "repeat what you just did."

That settles this logo nonsense for me. Hillary is going forward. That's the symbolism, and people understand that. Enough with this whole thing.

If you don't believe me, do a Google Image search for forward arrow. They all point right. It's a universal symbol:
