Slightly off topic... but how can you tell what your fortress's symbol is?  or, do you get an official symbol when the king comes??

*goes to find an Engraving to work for this topic*

[Skanky]

I think the process goes something like:
1. Engrave a massive amount of squares
2. Look at all the engravings
3. See which symbol comes up most often

One more thing: It will be a "Rendition of a masterful image of _" I think.

It's also on one side of any coins you mint.  Mine is hidden moons.

I'm pretty sure that rendition message can come up for anything. Just that the dwarf is drawing a picture of an existing picture. Like we would if we drew a picture of the Mona Lisa.

The best way to know your fortress symbol is to go there in adventure mode. that's when it'll tell you exactly.

EDIT: the symbols on your coins are actually your civilization symbols.
