Please pay attention to this.

The company ASEA (Allmänna Svenska Elektricitets AB) founded in Västerås Sweden in 1883 with their invention of the principles of generating and transmitting electric energy became world famous in very short time and is today one of the most known company in the world by the name of ABB (Asea Brown Boweri).
The old symbol, the svastika, established sometime in the late 1800's, consisted of the Indo-European solar or symbol for luck the swastika, by the letters A, S, E, and A. Nazism, who used a similar symbol, had grown strong and this years in power in Germany. This resulted in the MD Asea Sigfrid Edström ordered swastika be removed from the trade mark. The Nazis had made the logo unusable. So in the early 1930s the managing director Sigfrid Edström ordered the logo to be changed.
