Would it be a famous person?
Perhaps, an animal?
An object? A statue? A flag?
Fictional or not?
What do you think?
A candle, burning in the darkness, Or, perhaps,, a light house beckoning the way.
What? I thought it aleady was The Flying Spaghetti Monster... at least for some.
Perhaps a symbol to represent science. A portrait of Charles Darwin? Of course from what I have read, Darwin himself was not an atheist.
@silvereyes How about this. Use the fish symbol with the feet, and for the eye have the Atheist symbol of the A inside the circle. I think that would work as a mascot symbol for the site. You might also be able to incorporate other atheist symbols ihnto an enhanced artwork of the fish with feet. Anyway, that is th ediestion i am thinking in.
The fish with feet munching on a bible or maybe climbing aboard and weighing down the cross jee-whiz is dragging to his cruci-fiction.
Hyperion is the name of a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in Northern California that was measured at 115.92 m (380.3 ft), which ranks it as the world's tallest known living tree.
A Mt. Rushmore cartoon with carvings of Darwin,The Devil, Dawkins, & FSM.
An ape.
There could be something there to that. I like it.
I don't know what it should be but I know what it should be doing. It should be holding something simple, a rock, a seed, a flower and it should be looking into it deeply as if it's seeing it for the first time.
A hedgehog, just because they are so darn cute. Can't be a penguin, Linux has that sewed up.
The Thinker by Rodin: It was originally designed for "The Gate of Hell" by Dante; however, it became famous as a stand-alone sculpture. It is a very moving piece of sculpture, and I was spellbound when I saw it. To me, it symbolizes the way we (agnostics/atheists) came to realize the truth.

Or a Calvin and Hobbes comic.
Excellent choice! Hits the mark, definitely. I've seen two of them (Paris and Stanford), I should have checked out the Philly one.
One of Rodin's original castings of "The Thinker," owned by Gerald Cantor, a former employer of mine, went down with the North Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11 along with something like 900 Cantor-Fitzgerald employees. The sculpture's head was recovered but disappeared mysteriously soon after. I like the idea of the sculpture being a logo or "mascot" for the site but it may be trade marked.
