Default What is this?

My apologies for creating a thread regarding this, But I've been seeing this symbol on vehicles etc..for well over a year. I've tried google searches and asked people what the "H" it is and I still don't know. it looks something like the image below.

....Anyway, what is it?

Red Dragon Skateboards, It's a skateboard brand out of Vancouver I believe, It's cooler obviously than other brands because "you probably haven't heard of it".

This symbol right?

While that logo is from Red Dragon skate/snow clothing company it's origin actually comes from a symbol from Mahjong.

I've been seeing a lot of tee shirts with the name 'Ed Hardy' on them. Can someone explain this to me? I'm not hip with the kids.

Whenever I've seen it, I thought it looked like a poorly drawn Calgary Tower and/or Olympic torch, but never cared enough to find out what it actually was.

Way more than you can imagine.

I always see it as "middle" or "medium" or just simply 중. Like if I wanted to order a medium portion of 탕수육 from a chinese food place when I was in Korea.

Well thank you for clearing that up for me CP!. It's been nagging at me for way too long and now I know.

to me, it always made me think of those old fashioned gas pump nozzles.

Its a label they put on shirts so you can identify ######ed kids who have rich parents.
