The video would have been better if the ISO symbol for "no" had been used instead of the Volvo logo.

Thanks for the heads up. I have seen this used both ways and didn't realize one official version.

"The general prohibition sign, also known informally as the no symbol, 'do not' sign, circle-backslash symbol, nay, interdictory circle, prohibited symbol, don't do it symbol, or universal no, is a red circle with a 45-degree diagonal line inside the circle from upper-left to lower-right." Wikipedia

In the Volvo logo, the diagonal line is from the lower left to the upper right.

You are most welcome. Thank you for the great cartoons.

The Volvo logo is simply a symbol for male with Volvo written across the circle.

The female equivalent is a circle with a cross at the bottom.

That isn't the one they put on the front of their cars and trucks, but you'll notice the vector on the arrow is the same.

Then you could direct me to the definitive dictionary of them in print.

You have given information that has helped many to process the deep seated trauma we have experienced. Now we can share , grow and heal from the chaos.

When the Big-Tech, Deep State decides to cut-from-the-internet people they don't like, beforehand, try qortal.org which is a decentralized network that cannot be stopped......yet.

Thank you, Donald, I’ve been thinking we need to plan ahead and be able to connect should people like us get booted off of the internet.
