SS for real?
Please look at the Howling Alpha Sticker without CS 20 it looks like the SS rune from the Third Reich, which is not that nice, you know. :crashthumbsdown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runic_insignia_of_the_Schutzstaffel

Thats the only reason i think this pack of stickers will never get into the game. Sadly because all other stickers look very nice and i like to see them in game. If you change that one detail you get my vote for it.

lol, aight I'm going to try and take your comment seriously and explain to you how this is not the SS rune from the Third Reich.

This sticker is based on the Howling Alpha, the highest rank for the Danger Zone game mode.

I flipped horizontally so it would face the direction of the weapons and in doing so also to resemble the m4a4 Howling Down design.

I separated those two design elements from the original one so I could scrape "CS 20" as a secret for the sticker.

And then your mind for unknown reasons that I can't even begin to comprehend saw there the SS rune from the Third Reich, which it has a different angle, width in the lines and length. I won't tolerate anybody claiming this ♥♥♥♥ upon my artwork, this is something I take very seriously.

You can see everything I explained here: https://i.imgur.com/7PhVXf6.jpg

I believe you when you say that it was not intended, because you seem like a good person, but i think that there are many bad people out there who will abuse this sticker for their purpose. I just want to say that the sticker, in exact that way its looking right now, should and will not get into the game.

Therefore you probably should edit this small thing on the sticker because besides this little thing its a great sticker. You could put that CS 20 secret in another position. Maybe also write it from the bottom left to the upper right corner. It would fit better in the overall flow of the sticker and there would not be that misunderstanding.

Unless you're a Valve employee I'm not moving a finger about anything, I explained already the whole process even illustrated it. The "supposed" second S of the right doesn't even look as an S, it's composed of 2 squared figures united by their very corners, there's not a middle stick to make it qualify as an S.

I can't stop you guys from seeing whatever you want to see, but out of 22,780 unique visitors as of this comment only 3 people came up with that. The ratio is not meaningful for me to consider doing any changes.

I'm on Danidem's side. Why would he copy anything when he already has a skin in CS:GO? He's just a talented artist, and you're just a salty guy.

This entire post is actually stupid, You can't seriously take that as the SS symbol, First of all. It looks no where near the SS symbol unless you think about it as the SS symbol, Which me who has read history for the Second World War finds no resemblence to.

I'm sorry if my comment was a bit misleading, obviously I am not a native speaker.
It was meant as an hint, so that it does not get abused by bad people (this also goes out to Vattumies :D).
I think the fact that i am german and that only a few days ago some nazi guy tried to kill jews in a synagogue and then killed other random people made this thing "a bit" offending for me and i think for all other germans as well (just like bresch0r).

I mean it is a thing that everyone should avoid using, when creating content, ESPECIALLY in Germany (i mean you could go to prison here, if someone would see you with such symbols (the real, not the Sticker XD) because there are neo nazis everywhere, who always try to find new inconspicuous symbols, numbers and stuff like that.

Yea, i hope the message i wanted to bring to you was understandable. :D
I am not salty or mad at anyone, it was just a hint with the knowledge of my perspective.

Ich glaube nicht das jemand der mehr als 1 Gehirnzelle besitzt auf die Idee kommt nen Sticker in CS:GO zu kaufen weil es vielleicht mit Fantasie wie das SS Symbol aussieht + dieser Sticker war nie mit der Absicht entstanden in ürgen einer art mit der SS was am Hut zu haben. Ich mag die Idee die er hinter der Form hatte, dass sie mit der Abnutzung einen text beinhält. Wen man so etwas umsetzen will kommt man net auf die Idee, wie die Form vielleicht Ähnlichkeit mit was anderem hat.
Ich habe zum beispiel nen Logo für unser Team gemacht mit 5 Köpfen in einem Kreis. Bei dem Logo war der Schatten von den Hälsen in der Mitte in einem 5 zackigen Kreuz verknüpft.
Nachdem ich es meinem Team und der Clanleitung gezeigt hatte wurde ich darauf aufmerksam gemacht damit es recht Rechtsextrem aussieht und ich hatte es davor nicht bemerkt.
Damit will ich sagen damit man in vielem etwas negatives sehen kann es aber fast nie absicht ist.
+ wen jemand sich durch so etwas verletzt fühlt finde ich das zum lachen.
