Well I was going to post a nice update post but.........
Yes it is meant to be similar to Horizon. I wanted to change the name but keep it similar. Rising Sun was the logical choice because of my association with Japan.
and Verizon was taken :P haha
I am fully aware of Japanese history. Both what is taught publicly in North America, what is taught publicly in Japan, as well as the info in between that isn't taught publicly. You are correct that they don't show the real harshness of the Japanese empire in schools here. All you hear is how evil the Nazi's were. Nothing of Japanese tying people to stakes in a field and then gassing the field to test the spread of it whatever chemical it was. etc (don't need to go into that stuff in this thread)
Japanese themselves know even less. I'm surprised they know there was a war at all. Seriously.
But last time I checked, Japan is still known as "land of the Rising Sun" . And is filled with oddly dressed girls and cell phones that you can't use on any of the trains. So a portion of the logo is based off an old flag? It's a logo for a paintball website. Not a hate site. If people can't grasp that then... I donno?
I guess I just won't expect orders from any 80 year old Mainland-Asian (and islanders) people who still refuse to buy a Sony TV because it's Japanese? Even though it's made in China. Because I know there are people like that, that can't let go of some of the things they experienced first hand.
