So, people of DDD, a few questions for you.
Do you have any sort of trademark? Something you say, do, or wear, are never seen without? If you do, what does it mean to you? Did you put thought into it or pick it up on a whim? Does it represent or remind you of something?

On a somewhat related note, is anyone here into symbolism?

U-Um, I wear a hat, if that counts! But it's something that Blue gave to me...

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

I'd say it counts, if you like it enough to wear it all the time.

[themixedsky.livejournal.com]

I think it's obvious what my trademarks are. I can't exactly get rid of one of them.

They mean something, lets just say two out of three were 'whims', and they remind me of things.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Well I don't really know you well enough for them to be that obvious. Except for the Liger, if he counts as one of them.

.......right.

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

I have none.

Symbolism?

XD whaaat?

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...who're you kidding?

Yeah, symbolism. I figure you'd know a thing or two about the christian variety.

[cockblocksdee.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have any trademark, but I know a bit about symbolism.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a charm or pendant of sorts, something to go on jewelry. But I want it to be something that holds some meaning at least, which is why I'm asking around.

[no-wing-knight.livejournal.com]

Let's see... I usually have my red leather riding jacket with me. How I got it though, well I saw it in a store and decided I liked it.

As for symbolism, I use it a lot in my music.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Good enough way to pick something up, I'd say.

Clearly I haven't had enough of your lyrics to pick up on any of that... what sorts of symbolism do you use?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Brother and I both wear the Flamel.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

So that's what it's called.

Why the Flamel? What does it stand for?

[stone-gun-nest.livejournal.com]

Well, there's my goggles and my shoulder guard. I've had them since I was a kid; my uncle gave them to me. And right now I live... a long way from where I grew up.

[Not strictly true, at least not spatially. But a couple centuries is a long time.]

As for symbolism... not really. I'm not really the literary type.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Goggles, huh. Do you actually need them or are they just decoration?

Fair enough, it's not for everyone. Though symbols aren't limited to words, in this case.

[originaldragoon.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I guess my armor, circlet, and boots would be considered my trademark considering it is rare when I do not wear them.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

You constantly wear armor? That seems awfully uncomfortable.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

My labcoat, my tie, my Converse... Though they don't really mean anything to me, I just wear them all the time because of my job.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

You wear Converse? ...figures I guess, they're pretty comfortable.

[cyberelric.livejournal.com]

Like Al said, I wear the Flamel on the back of my coat, I also have my pocketwatch.

I know all about symbolism, alchemy is full of it. What do you want to know?

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

I'd been meaning to ask where that Flamel came from and what it means, anyway.

At last, looks like I've found someone who might be able to help. It's something silly, really... I'm looking for a symbol to use as a pendant.

[nike-hat.livejournal.com]

My cap, it's an offical Pokemon League cap.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

How long have you had it?

[visestvita.livejournal.com]

My sunglasses, I suppose.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Not the coat?

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

Well... My white shirt and black tie.

^{I've also been told I tend to say -} FAIRY GODPARENTS!

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Well I'm not sure how unusual the choice clothing is, but I guess it counts.

And yeah, you do tend to say that.

[cawing.livejournal.com]

Leather jacket.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Colour of choice?

[vengeful-virtue.livejournal.com]

Three guesses what the trademark is and the first two don't count.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

The hat, the knives and oh I don't know do I get another couple guesses?

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

I have been wearing a monocle for a few years now, though I cannot think of a particularly meaningful reason for it.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Well, not all things need a meaningful reason, some are just practical.

[cannotemotealie]

You tell me, bro.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Like I really need to spell this out.

[unlikely-spread.livejournal.com]

Ah... I never really thought about it before. But I suppose you could count my headphones; I rarely leave home without them. For no particular reason, though, other than that I enjoy listening to music.

Maybe it would be better to say my S.E.E.S. armband... Although I don't need to wear that anymore.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

I think the headphones are probably more of a personal thing, so it counts just as much as any official emblem. What sort of music do you listen to?

[quicksavensmoke.livejournal.com]

Lol, do I count for this?

heh.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

I don't think I need to ask you over a forum, but you can count of you want to.

[flammatory]

I can't exactly leave my scar somewhere, but it has gotten pretty symbolic...

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Symbolic of what?

[blowawaytopknot.livejournal.com]

I am not so sure if it counts, but a lot of people think the whole eyepatch thing stands out..

I believe in symbolism.. while we're at it. That is to say, I'm 'into it' as you put it.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

I'd say it counts, if it's something people remember you by.

So you believe in something in spite of not having much knowledge about it?

[showmystarrysky.livejournal.com]

My head is equipped with a custom-option information ribbon. I am able to change its colors and patterns. Mr. Manager and everyone in the staff presented this to me in commemoration of ten years of continuous service.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

And you've always been wearing it since?

[Video]

[material_guy]

Think you've seen the tattoo. [Holds up left hand.]

Reminds me of a couple of things but if we're tryin' to define stuff, it's kinda a gang symbol, if we're puttin' it in real simple terms.

[A pause as he rubs his chin absently musing.] Not my gang, go figure, but...

Lookin' into gettin' a trademark?

[voice]

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Why wear a mark of a gang that isn't your own?

I'm not looking to get one, no. I've recently gotten rid of on.
