With the latest addition, what symbols are you using to represent your fortress?

For my sand desert embark:

I settled on a smallish acropolis/volcano thing in the tundra with only goblins for neighbors.

A sea lamprey torturing a dwarf. The dwarf is screaming.
The river this fort is on actually has lampreys, although I haven't seen any torture yet.

Having that image engraved on the walls must really raise the moral of the dwarves in your fort.

Sea lampreys are pretty terrifying.

In .05 my civ's symbol was an image of shadow horrors. In .06 it is a rendition of the Mob of Glaze, a finely-designed image of shadow horrors.

My randomly generated group name is The Guild of Virginity. There weren't any dice in the symbol selection menu so I settled for three figurines.

Hahaha, that's the best!

This is what Toady was hiding from us when Hell came pre-engraved.

Well, I just got the latest version installed yesterday and am still feeling sad for my old save which I'm likely going to first neglect and then forget.

This made me think. What if our world is just a giant simulation and whoever is running it gets bored, just saves the current state, and never gets back to playing with it ever? Technically the universe wouldn't have ceased to exist, as its state would still be stored, but time wouldn't progress any more. Nobody living in this universe would even realize that it ended.
That'd likely be the most anticlimactic end to all our lives one could imagine.

My current fort is planned to be a tavern/diplomatic outpost, so I've chosen something simple as its symbol: A mountain and goblets.
I would have liked to have the goblets placed on the mountain, but the interface didn't allow this.

That's just my attempt to do some references. For those of you who are not such a weeaboo as I am, that is "Spice and Wolf" and "MonMusu" anime series. First it the actual symbol, another is an engraving image.
The new system is actually allows to describe the whole scenes from many movies or TV Shows.. like Lord of The Rings (DF world doesn't have halflings though) or from fairy tails. With raws modding it's even easier I guess, but I think it's not so interesting.
