Okay, I've tried to load a picture of the S&W logo for an hour or so. I give up. My question is, can anyone decipher this logo? I've looked at it for years and it is kinda weird.

What are you trying to figure out about it? It is a superimposed S and W with a long vertically drawn out ampersand intertwined with the letters, similar to a vine twined about the letters.
 
It is an old Indian symbol that means,
"White man boom stick that makes much noise and kills nothing will never equal the arrow."

There is nothing to decipher. A logo is meant to be a quickly recognizable image that makes you think of the company instantly when you see it.


Nike's logo is a check mark (they call it a swoosh)

Dodge's logo is a Ram head

Mazda's logo is a set of wings in an oval

Pepsi's logo is a Red White and Blue ball

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing's logo is 3M




The S&W logo is provided courtesy of S&W

The "S" and "W" lay on top of each other and have flowery ends on the letter strokes. I think the ampersand is what throws people. It's the wishbone-looking thingy intertwined in the S and W. The photo below may help. The "S" is white, the "&" gold and the "W" black.

If you Google "Smith and Wesson Logo" you'll find some stencil ready artwork. Going full color?
We need to see the results too!
