I still don't understand this conversation. There isn't *ei**the**r direct**ly or in**di**rectly *any* *fascist oresoteric symbols in this wp* : *or please explain it to me and send me draw or something that I can visually understand. The center is a circle that can figure a CD, a LP or an hard drive. In fact the whole design haven't any formal concept.

I was not sure myself to add or remove it, because that could indeed induce a "commercial" feel. Now bar codes are used in many kind of domains, for sort mails or help people who have a handicap. Again, I sent this wp in our dev-list the 6th September, the conversation was open for modify and improve this work.
