This is a simplification. The symbol is a pictogram similar to a
heiroglyph although it is not related to any egyptian heiroglyph.
In the center of the symbol is a cross. Crux is latin for cross.
This cross is a byzantine triple-bar cross. It has a field of white
on the left and a field of black on the right. The white on the left is
a symbol of light, and the black on the right is a symbol of
shadow. The circles around the outside are the mathmatical
representation of a set within the set; hence a subculture. So the
symbol can be read to mean "the subculture of cross shadow" or
"The Cruxshadows". As I said this is a simplification. It
becomes more complicated when you take into account the
meaning of the word Cruxshadows. But hopefully this will clear
up any misconceptions. Yes, Rogue did make the original
design with whiteout on black paper. We liked it enough to keep
it for the last 10 years! But, no, I'm sorry to disappoint anyone but
it is neither a chinese character nor an egyptian heiroglyph. :(
