White supremacists and other extremists have long been fond of signs, symbols, logos and emblems, the meanings of which are not always obvious to the uninformed observer. Reproduced here are some of the most popular symbols in current use on World Wide Web pages or in extremist publications. A brief explanation of each is included.

White Pride World Wide
Some groups have incorporated this White supremacist slogan into the Celtic cross.

W. A. R. Swastika
The symbol used by the neo-Nazi group White Aryan Resistance (W.A.R.) incorporates the California-based group's acronym into a Nazi swastika.

Aryan Nations
This symbol is used by the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations, based in Hayden Lake, Idaho.

Crossed Hammers
Crossed hammers signify the many Skinhead groups that use the word "e;hammer" as part of their names. Such groups exist in Australia, Europe and the United States, and many incorporate the crossed hammers into their own symbols.

Three-Bladed Swastika
This is a variation of the traditional swastika of Nazi Germany that is popular among some Skinhead and other White supremacist groups. It also has been used by some South African extremist groups.

Skinhead Skull and Crossbones
Many Skinhead groups use variations of this symbol, which incorporates the Celtic cross into a skull and crossbones.

14 Words
Shorthand for a slogan coined by David Lane, an imprisoned member of the Order, or Silent Brotherhood: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children." The Order was a revolutionary neo-Nazi group responsible for the theft of millions of dollars in armored car heists and the murder of a Jewish radio talk show host in the 1980s.

88
This number, widely used by neo-Nazis and others, is shorthand for "Heil Hitler." H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, and so the abbreviation H.H. is translated as 88.
