If we want some sort of quick icon for SW, why not Writing, it's pretty iconic for an act and is only two symbols that could be one graphic.<br><br><br><br><b><i>Valerie Sutton <sutton@signwriting.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> SignWriting List<br>December 20, 2008<br><br>Hello Gerard, Stefan and everyone -<br><br>I looked up the word FLAVICON in a small English dictionary and could <br>not find the word...does it mean LOGO?<br><br>This logo doesn't really mean VICTORY...it is the number 2 hand in <br>some sign languages...to write the VICTORY hand movement that you are <br>thinking of, that is known in the hearing world to mean VICTORY...that <br>needs to have the back of the hand...a black symbol...because when <br>people do that motion the are showing the palm to the person facing <br>them, and they view the back of their own hand...we
