Subject: Re: Standards

Well I have seen a lot of different icons also for a Janus. And (except of the pointed dog ?) they seem all to have their inner logic. But its just the character of being a mix of others which takes those symbols out of the row of the conventional icons. Thus I have 'invented' my own more distinct symbols. I did it not for to claim that this should be a new type of standard. But it reflects the situation in which the common symbols only seem to be a substitute for the missing real symbols.
