    • Your "Therian symbol", the Theta Delta, is incorrectly drawn: The bar of Theta should have crossbars on the ends, while Delta's left face should be noticeably thinner than the other two. In any event, it doesn't appear to be very "common" or "well-liked", given this is the first I've seen of it.2006 March 18, Jure Sah, “Free Sibe”, in alt.horror.werewolves, Google Groups
    • I think that's a pretty neat logo and I definitely prefer it to the Theta-Delta (which makes me think of dentists...and it's just an ugly symbol to me). I think that logo is cute and could be easily worn on a t-shirt though I think the hoof print needs resized.2012 October 4, Arawn, “An Awesome Therian Logo”, in Werelist
