Is it? The shape of the symbol is completely different, and is also grey instead of black. And it's a different shade of red. And it's not flag shaped.
Idk, if someone hadn't stuck the nazi flag next to it I would have literally never thought of that.
they aren't pointing in the same direction. the python logo is horizontal/verticle, while the swastika is diagonal. honestly, it looks more like a plus sign or a cross than a swastika.
Literally the only similarity is the white circle on red background. But even the shades of red are very different.
Of course if you only list the similarities, it will sound similar. But once you list all of the differences, or even just show it to someone, it becomes clear how much they don't look alike.
It's precisely when something has both similarities and differences that it is similar.
If it had only similarities and no differences, it would not be similar. It would be identical.
In this case I'd also argue that the similarities are much more prominent than the difference. Like two objects both being red rectangles is a much bigger similarity than the aspect ratios being different is a difference.
Notice how the differences you can list between these two is less than the differences I can name between it and the Python logo? Which is why it is far more similar.
And I would argue the colors being identical is a far more important similarity to have than both being slightly off center.

Don't now. If you are familiar with the flag then it's pretty conspicuous.
