They've gone over the top. I really hoped that this photo was AI generated, that someone created it as a joke, humour or something; but looks genuine. :facepalm:
No that's not AI generated.  I took the screen shot during Mass last night.  The Mass was the Mass of First Friday from Japan.

What's the big fuss about the SSPX logo? I've seen Dominicans, Jesuits, and others use their congregation's seal or crest on vestments, et alia, and even the Jesuit IHS with a cross and sun rays on the priest's host.

It doesn't seem proper to me to brand hosts. I wonder if the Church has made rules about designs allowed on hosts?

Just a thought here: Dominicans, Jesuits etc. are religious orders that practice the three evangelical counsels of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. I believe that these are essential to be recognized as an ORDER. They normally have great historical, theological and spiritual heritage; and are the basis of the Breviary / Liturgy to a degree.
So we can simply imagine that over the centuries, the Church gave them privileges because of their influence and authority.

The neoSSPX is only a society where the members do not profess vows per se.

Even the name " Third Order of SSPX " is inaccurate, because the SSPX doesn't even  have a 'First' order, plus they are yearning / waiting blend in when Rome returns to Tradition...maybe even before that would happen.

The problem is that the logo is a result of modern commercial branding, a worldly, money-making, marketing for profit tactic. The main purpose of modern logos like the SSPX hearts is copyright their identity, not draw the attention to God.  The two hearts logo didn’t start out as a commercial brand, but that’s what it has turned into.
