circled A

We publish below a pamphlet generously shared with us by Tomás Ibáñez that tells the story of the circled A as an anarchist symbol, a symbol whose 60th anniversary falls on this year.

indeed the circled A was a neat invention and it has since served its purpose very well. it's easier to draw than many symbols. does it have as much currency as the symbols of any currency? like $? well as a symbol, it certainly has more currency than all cryptocurrency, but very likely not as much monetary value. it has more significance, at least until now, but maybe not for much longer. it could definitely use more bold propagating. most circled A i see around these days are small ones done by markers. they're great, but i'd like to see some big ones on walls. it's like a real world hyperlink that leads some people to anarchism.
