IMHO the icon for "favorite question" looks like a pentagram (Wikipedia). It doesn't really bother me but maybe other people :-)

2So...you're telling me this isn't a website about the occult? Ugh, what a misunderstanding!– Ankur BanerjeeJul 11, 2011 at 7:59

Just posted this as an answer, but I moved it to Ankur's link. Maybe we can use a sextant? I think that would fit well.– BeakerJul 11, 2011 at 9:54

It's perfect for those whose favourite travel destination is to the stars.– hippietrailJul 12, 2011 at 6:27

Totally agree. May be we can use some ideas from this question (especially visa stamp) for the new 'favorites'-icon?

2yes, and also for the "approved" icon. A visa stamp fits perfectly Jul 11, 2011 at 10:19

It is a pentagram. In so far as it's a five-pointed star, and a pentagram is also a five-pointed star. I used to draw them in the margins of my math notebook as a kid... My late grandfather had a six-foot one welded together from angle irons that he hung and lit at Christmas. Why a five-pointed star I asked? Because a six-pointed star would have meant we were Jewish, he replied.
But I digress... It's part of the whole "sketchy" theme that beta sites are stuck with on SE. It's supposed to look like someone drew it, on graph paper, like those idle doodles I used to do instead of learning maths.
When your site graduates, you get something else. 'Til then, don't be sayin' nothin' bad 'bout my grampa...
