It doesn't seem to be an either-or on one heart vs two. They are both Vendee symbols.

Since you like wiki, I'll copy this quote, but there are plenty more references in Google.

Quote

The red heart is associated with the Vendée region in France - most notable for its resistence of the Jacobins and the French Revolution where the locals, steadfast in their faith and traditions, rose up in counter-revolution. The symbol is used as a logo of several Societé of Saint Pius X branches.

He probably should redesign his coat of arms tonight. He is using the two-heart logo, the very "branding" that the resistance loves to hate, designed by that Dutch marketing firm, Credo Creatie. Lol!

Funny you should post that link. The linked page demonstrates precisely how a "corporate brand" is maintained, with approved logos, typeset, layouts, colors etc. It is exactly what my company mandates for logo usage, presentations and so on.

So it's all about the brand, and so little to do with the Faith, as you unwittingly revealed.

Let's see how long the link remains working :-)

There is nothing shameful about how the SSPX's logo, etc. was designed, and that link has been up for a very long time. There are several other pages online, too, explaining the thinking behind the updated Angelus Magazine, letterheads, websites, too. The SSPX is an international religious organization, so it makes sense that they need to have a symbol / logo that can be recognized instantly anywhere in the world as meaning "SSPX". That is what that two-heart symbol is and has become. I think that every world-wide religious group has a symbol or logo or seal by which they can be recognized. The blank and white shield, for example, is an international symbol for the Dominicans. One recognizes it immediately.

Organizations do indeed need such symbols when they become international corporate entities.
It is undeniable that the SSPX has transmuted under Bishop Fellay and the operative Max Krah, from a religious congregation into an international business group in all of its functions. It is now going about gaining aquisitions, and market shares, and concerning itself with targeted audiences.
The days of simply saving souls and preserving some of Tradition have passed away.
Facebook and Twitter cannot be far behind........

Well yes, that's what branding is all about. Shame they aren't concerned with being recognized instantly as meaning "Catholic", and only secondarily as SSPX.

The Dominicans never went to such pains to ensure "correct usage" for their tokens of identity.
