What is this symbol?

I am guilty of drawing that symbol and I have absolutely no idea what it is supposed to be, except a silly S.

There’s a clothing line here in California called Stussy, back in the day they used that for their symbol. I don’t know if that’s the origin, or if some guy was like “Hey that’s a cool symbol, we should use it for our clothing line”.
Raised in SoCal, that symbol was always called a “stussy” here.

I believe that to be my mother in law’s footprint ;)

Oh wow, I remember learning to to draw this in grade school! It was so neat :D I’m going to draw one now!

It appears to be a Mobius strip, also the symbol for infinity.

@jhp I think a Mobius symbol is supposed to be a horizontal eight.

lol it’s just a cool way to draw an “S”

Symbeline, a Mobius strip is a continuous closed surface with only one side. I don’t believe the orientation matters.

Maybe, but this particular symbol is cut off at two places, which means the trajectory, to be kept “infinite” would have to go back on itself. :/

Here’s the link to the discussion on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/That-S-thing-we-all-drew-in-elementary-school/317809704552#!/pages/That-S-thing-we-all-drew-in-elementary-school/317809704552?v=app_2373072738

… that S-thing . . .

I think the idea is that it’s not cut off in 3D space. In other words. one portion of the single surface overlays another portion of the single surface.

What is it? a great time killer when you’re bored in elementary school… especially when you try to silently teach the kid next to you without the teacher noticing ; )

sorry but i don’t have any idea.
