Symbols you are curiously attached to

[kommando367]

<---that

I like Yinyang symbols because I like balance and I view mental, physical, spiritual, and social balance as moderately important to my lifestyle.

 

[Slunt]

I like the look of the number 5. Not really a symbol though.

 

[VeryOddGamer]

I really like the Marathon symbol/The aforementioned Tau symbol.

Marathon

Tau

As you can see, they're slightly different. I prefer the Tau variant.

 

[Iwata]

The Imperial aquila from Warhammer 40k, I've even got a tattoo of it on my shoulder

The Imperial aquila from Warhammer 40k.

I have it tattooed on my back.

Huh, across the back?

Back of the neck.

 

[Vault101]

The radiation hazard symbol.

yeah..that and the biohazard symbol

I used to have a weird facination with that as a kid..dont know why

 

[Drizzitdude]

So, I have this thing with the symbol of an ankh, the Egyptian symbol for the key of life (if my shoddy knowledge of Egyptian writing is correct). I can't really justify why, but I have wanted to have an ankh tattooed on my left wrist for the past 2 years.

I also have an attachment to the number 27, ever since it was my designated team number on the volleyball team, and the 2 of hearts card. I have one in my passport to mark the relevant page, but I first got the card by being given it by my boss after he had found it on a bar table.

Are there any symbols/numbers that you are attached to and can't really explain why?

I feel the similarity here with the ankh because I had the same thing with the cross (both similar symbols). I can't quite put my finger on it but something about the cross always looked cool and badass to me and I'm not even religious in the least. I am even more interested in the over stylized ones you can find on shirts or in shows like fullmetal alchemist.

Guess it resonates with my Viking blood.

Well, I'll just have to quote you on this then since you said exactly what I was going to say.

 

[MrPeanut]

The necron symbol

Though with the new dex I'm not sure if that's the general symbol for Necrons or the symbol of the Silent King's Dynasty.

 

[Wintermoot]

for some reason &#30495; (real) and &#22899; (woman)
I think they look cool

 

[Muspelheim]

Symbolic cogs are nice, I can't really think of why, but they are interesting.

And I'm another fan of the Ahnk, I've got a little silver ankh around my neck I got as a throw-in offer from a jeweler in Egypt once.

Two things for me, really...

Circuitry is big on me... No, really... It's on me. There's just something about them. [http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumblarge_359/123324236759I62l.jpg] I plan on getting more. [https://dl.dropbox.com/u/65110350/facebook_1347999285.jpg]

Another thing is Welding masks. Not really a symbol, but if you play a lot of FPS's, it makes sense to wear one. You have no peripheral vision, Gas-masks are out of the picture, and you'll probably want something protecting your Face. I shoveled money out for a cosmetic item in a game for the first time to unlock Foundry Worker Aldridge.

I am a fan of the Yin-Yang. I just like the concept and the symbol.

<img src="http://wallpaperstate.org/wp-content/gallery/wallpaper_yin_yang_11/yin-yang-moon-500x312.jpg" height="200" /img>

The idea of two opposites, each having their aspects diametrically opposed to the other, yet both being parts of a whole wherein you can't quite imagine one without the other. That doesn't stop me from picking a side and sometimes going with half of a yin-yang as a symbol I use, particularly as an emblem in Halo. I like to think it means "this is my way and I don't recognize your way." It's all very tongue-in-cheek.

 

[Hawk of Battle]

A few have mentioned the Chaos gods, and I concur, though most specifically, this one;

The Mark of Tzeentch. I really love the idea of the Architect of Fate in the 40k verse, and I'm seriously considering getting a tatoo of this.

 

[xplosive59]

As a bassist...

...Can there be anymore important symbol?

 

[Ledan]

Thor's hammer.
Since I was 7 I've had a pendant of Thor's hammer hanging from my neck.

 

[FrostyChick]

It's a font called Lovecrafts Diary. I think the symbols look rather cool.
(that's the whole alphabet there)

 

[an annoyed writer]

It's a bit simple, but Tron's Iso symbols. I find the Isos somewhat relatable, and because of that I plan to get one of these tattooed on each of my arms.

Spoiler: The Ouroboros

Spoiler: The Seal of Orichalcos

Spoiler: The Crest of Hyrule

Spoiler: The Symbol of the Sheikah

That's all for now, I think.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Spoiler: The Pentagram

Wearing one for years, I won't be found without my necklace.

 

[RADIALTHRONE1]

The symbol of team Dai-Gurren. Its just completely badass.

Row, row, fight the powah!

So close!! Almost had it.
Guess i will have to go with a more badass version.
