Is there an official symbol to the Holy Cog? The Empire?

    This is mostly just an art question.
    I saw David's Tweet with a link to Etsy and decided to search for Cogs.

    Found this necklace and it got me to thinking. Have you guys settled on official symbols yet?
    I mean, here priests wear Crosses. What is the Official Symbol of the Cog (a cog obviously, but there are a million different ways to draw a Cog, but has team settled on what the official Cog looks like)?

    Does the Empire have a different symbol? How different? Is it identical to the one given in the Flag?

    To standardize the Holy cog is blasphemy. Cogs must come in all shapes and sizes in order to fulfill there purpose.

    We're knife-fighting about some of the details here still. Uhhhh. Might do a blog post about this down the line, say.

    So, does that mean a post about knife-fighting amongst you, or a post about the official symbols in the game?

    I'd be fine with both, honestly (though in the former case it'd be better if nobody died).

    Kazeto, their knife fights, metaphorical or real were actually covered in a post (somewhere I can't find). Although I can't find the original post, I do know that all the tags of 'the pit' in news items refer to their method of resolving differences in design idea.

    This was VERY aptly drawn up by david in this comic form. (just in case you haven't seen it).

    I seem to have missed that one before. So thank you.
