Please identify this weird symbol- white fir tree with balkenkreuz superimposed

I've seen this a couple of places- a bumpersticker and a t-shirt. Does the hivemind know what it means or represents? Is it something to do with white supremacy (the Iron Cross gives me that vibe). Here is my drawing of what I saw:

Well Christmas trees are German.... maybe there are those who really want a really white Christmas? It is an odd sympbol. I would think that if one wanted some sorta unified-german-tribes kinda thing it'd be an oak tree.

Best answer: LRG logo?

I was going to guess a local marijuana dispensary, but I think kidbritish got it.

Heraldically speaking, the device in the middle of the LRG logo is a cross voided, basically a color reversal of a WWII balkenkreuz. I wonder if there's an optical effect that causes you to remember one as the other?
