Why not use yellow in place of the white at least? The Red/yellow pairing having a strong tradition in that part of the world. Angular symbols, black on white circle on a red field is strongly evocative too - but from a different hemisphere.
I'm not saying the designer's a Nazi or that NJD sympathizes, but maybe do a little more field testing before releasing it on the world?
I once came upon a belt company in the US that was using as their corporate logo an identical copy of the logo of a Luftwaffe fighter squadron (Jagdgeschwader 3). Probably some freelance designer was asked to come up with a graphic-style bird-like logo, did a bit of googling and appropriated it, but one reverse image search and two minutes on wikipedia could have saved some headaches. I dunno, I just SMH sometimes.
