Barclays' 'Nazi' Eagle Removed from Headquarters

    From Dailymail:

    Barclays ' iconic eagle emblem that has stood on top of one of its major buildings for 30 years has been removed - after reports that it looked like a Nazi symbol.

    The three-and-a-half tonne eagle was taken down from its 117ft perch on the top of Barclays House in Poole, Dorset. Barclays' logo bears a similarity to the Nazi version of Germany's eagle emblem

    The bankers said that the decision to remove the logo, which is 317-years-old, was because it was out-of-date branding.

    But there have been reports that the company's new Dutch partner, ABN Amro, does not like the emblem because it has Nazi connotations.
