For me, the term Spiral means a traveling circle…

Here are the three Spirals in the ISWA 2010:



1. Spiral Traveling Up parallel with the Wall Plane
2. Spiral Traveling Forward parallel with the Floor Plane
3. Spiral Traveling to the Side parallel with the Floor Plane

Then there is a fourth symbol:




Other than these four symbols, you will need to write a separate Circle symbol and combine it with other arrows, if you want something that is different than these pre-composed symbols -

So I am curious…what do other Spirals look like?
