The pink inverted triangle has already been taken.
Hitler used it to mark homosexual prisioners, and
now it is used for "gay identity" or something, I'm
not too sure. So, is the penguin gay? What's the
greased weasel for? :-)

There are things we should avoid:

Daemon/vampire/bat
Inverted triangle
Deathstar/Comet/Eclipse
Greased * on *
Penguins breaking/beating/killing *
Windows of any kind
Red background
Any kind of drug (even Jolt)
