	I like the communication panel from Legion of Super Heroes that shows symbols for them all.

	Never was a fan of Flash's or Green Lantern's insignia. But Spidey or Bats? definitely.

	Green Lantern isn't symbolic, it's a friggin' green lantern. Best emblem ever is still Captain Marvel's thick yellow cheese wedge shaped like a lightning bolt. Best costume ever once they dropped the button-up shirt.

Who said that Green Lantern's insignia was symbolic? Not me.

	Up above someone lumped it in with Flash's lightning.

Can anyone "name that symbol"? Last time I read LOSH was in the '80s and even then I couldn't keep track. Superboy's is obvious. Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad seem clear.

	I like the symbolic image, mainly because I tend to think character names and insignia should give a clue to their powers or origin but not spell it out. Literal insignia are also good, if they fit the character and do not tip the cards.
