anarchy symbol

Punk rock logo

The anarchy symbol is the letter A enclosed in a circle, representing anarchism—the political philosophy opposing hierarchical government.

The circle may derive from the slogan "Anarchy is Order" or simply frame the A for visual impact.

Originally a political emblem, it became associated with punk rock in the 1970s and now appears on everything from protest signs to fashion: She had an anarchy symbol patch on her jacket.
