The Helghast Triad
The Helghast Triad is the state banner of the Helghan Empire and New Helghan. It was co-opted from the original logo of the Helghan Administration.
Symbolism
The original Triad of the Helghan Administration was three interlocking arms representing Peace, Justice and Freedom.[1] Scolar Visari replaced the old banner with a simpler, starker and more dynamic logo showing three arrows representing the Helghast virtues of Duty, Obedience and Loyalty.[1]
Trivia
The old Helghan Triad.
- The Triad emblem closely resembles both the Arrow Cross of the far-right Hungarian nationalist party of the same name, and the triskele used by the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging. It also has a passing similarity to the Nazi hakenkreuz swastika and the late insignia of the German 7th Panzer Division.
- The Triad's red-black-white tricolor evokes the color scheme of the flag of Nazi Germany (which takes its colors from the imperial tricolor of the German Empire) and other fascist and far-right movements.
- The old version of the Triad is seen in the last chapter of Killzone 2.
