Reminds me of Vin Diesel, in the No Hair way.

The blue "posts" are not symmetrical with the Vegas Sign, and that bothers me somehow

The inverted star inscripted in a circle is one of my favourite symbols. I even sport an inverted Texas Ranger belt buckle. Without the "Tecksas Rayngur" letters, of course.
Few people know that the meaning originally depicted by this sign is a marking of the planet Venus on medieval astronomy/astrology (at that time, it was mostly the same thing) charts. The inverted star in a circle represents Venus, when it's visible as the "evening star", the first visible star on the sky. When the symbol represents an "upwards" star in a circle, it represents Venus as well, the same planet, the same "star", as the "morningstar", a body visible even n the morning at certain latitudes.
This star was also used by missionaries, in several places where pagan astronomical beliefs used to be the main religion, as a symbol of Jesus Christ and as a syncretic parallel, much like the Christmas Tree.
The derogative meaning of an inverted star finds its roots in the modern-day satanist symbol of an inverted pentagram, symbolizing the victory of matter over spirit.
Make no mistake. An inverted star itself draws parallels to the Greek/Roman deity of hawt seckse. [/symbology]
Oh yeah. I don't like blue images on black backgrounds. Tres neon-tacky. Kinda looks like a sign on a peep-show booth in Warsaw's Central Station's hallways.
Syphillis galore.

Driven by the constructive criticism the avatar recieved, I replaced the pentagram with a black/white one, and got rid of the Baphomet goat in the middle for a more "sophisticated" occult effect 
Wooz, perhaps you can answer two questions I have about the subject. Why is it an inverted pentagram, and not one rotated by 36 degrees? What is the symbol similar to an inverted pentagram, but with two curves for the top most points? Making a symbol that seems to be a meld between a heart symbol and the inverted pentagram symbol? I've been seeing that around recently.
A 5.5/10 Hellion, it doesn't seem very original.

By your second question, you mean this? If so, it's a sign I've only seen used by a praticular metal band, that tried (and maybe succeeded) to launch a new thread in the metal genre: "love metal". Hence the symbiosis of the heart (love) (duh) and the pentagram, used by many metal groups.
As for your first question, I'm trying to refresh my jommetry memory, and to find out if a pentagram rotated by 36 degrees isn't the same thing as an "inverted" one.

Finnish Love-Metal? Well, at they seem at least somewhat popular, since I see their symbol often enough. So, if knowledge is power, what type of power does knowledge about Love-Metal bring?
Rated your avatar, Hellion, previously, so I'll rate Wooz's with a 9/10.
