This symbol, sometimes referred to as the “Cross of questioning,” is in truth little more than a logo for the rock band Blue Oyster Cult.
Created by artist Bill Gawlick for the band’s first album, the symbol is patterned after the astrological symbol of Saturn/Cronus, in the shape of a sickle. (it is the image of the God of time with his sickle that gives us the modern concept of the Grim reaper)
It is not a question mark, an upside down cross, or a Satanic symbol, although for a brief time in the eighties, the symbol became popular as a “secret satanic symbol” among evangelical anti-rock crusaders.
Contrary to Urban Legend and tract writers, there is no corresponding “anti-Christian” symbol.
