  1. Yes, the one I have as avatar on the forum.
    I prefer to style myself as a rebel spirit, which is well represented by storm petrel, a sea bird.
    As I understood, my submission was rejected because of inconsistency with MD style.
    I am trying to understand what was wrong - as the picture is pencil drawn as required.

  2. As the square is made of straight lines, the sharpened square should do so too.
    Schematic:

  3. Mr Mystery's post made me thinking.
    I disagree with the idea about the cube closing the square.
    I think that, vice versa, what the cube does is actually opening the square.
    So if to open the square I will increase the number of dimensions... then to close the square I will decrease the number of dimensions, making it a single dot:

    The dot is in the intersection point of the two semicircles that, when added, would make lower part of Mur's symbol into a one closed line.
    Here's a schema so that the dot's location is precisely described:

    Mur, this contest is very entertaining. Thanks a lot )

  5. On closing, I agree with previous authors: enclosing circle just feels intuitively right for the word.

    Cancelling is more difficult. I perceive the square as the house, the shelter, the strength of protection of what it on one side of the square walls from what is on the other (inside or outside).
    So the counter is the symbol that breaks the walls, that makes the protection obsolete no matter how much faith one had in its strength.

    We also need not forget that as time goes by, new symbols appear and get entrenched in our minds. So if the square is the symbol of a stop - then the counter symbol is
