I took a look at it and was immediately struck by its appearance (twice) on the chip. I though "now why is THAT there?", so I did some poking arounand found this from Wikipedia:
The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit svastika (in Devanagari, स्वस्तिक), meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark made on persons and things to denote good luck.
Of course, the Nazis then came along and twisted its meaning and use.
