[edit] Order

Looks too ordered for chaos if you ask me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.247.235.10 (talk • contribs) 03:46, 18 January 2007

Geometric, ne? I often think the same. It simply represents "all directions" in the simplest and most coherent form. Any more would be messy. Any less would imply specifics. Imbalance would imply weight in any specific direction. It's just.. a generic, any-direction symbol, representing the vastness and flexibility of chaos, as opposed to disorder. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.222.237.39 (talk • contribs) 19:29, 4 February 2007

[edit] Too many images

Come on, do we really need an example of every single permutation of the device? Chris Cunningham 18:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I particularly like the broken "animated" one. But of course we must include them all! How else will delusioned weirdos with a tangential grip on reality make up meanings to insist are real and ancient without pictures? My necronomicon is real- the Chaos star proves it! 68.91.163.2 23:13, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I removed some of the excessive variants.

[edit] The symbol's birth

The article states that Moorcock was trying to visualize the "arms of chaos", buy in an interview in Steampunk Magazine Vol. 1, he states that he was attempting to make a suitable sign for entropy. Should this be added in? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redmage13 (talk • contribs) 19:06, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

"The Symbol of Chaos originates from the fictional game 'Warhammer'". Err Moorcock's work predates Warhammer by a couple of decades folks.

I was also perplexed by that claim of origin and thus, I am removing it. Yourai (talk) 23:24, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

This article would benefit from a reference section. Also, at least one of the existing links is dead. --Yourai (talk) 23:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
