: Alternative symbols to represent Valentine's Day? Anyone have ideas other than heart shapes?

@Rivera951

Chocolate could fit in to valentines day together with other symbols. A box of chocolates is quite usual as a present in valentines day.

How about a lipstick'ish kiss-mouth shape?

the right combination of colors immediately makes me think of valentine's day. I'd say a pink ribbon/stripe through a rich red background is a subtle but effective reminder.

If it is about symbols, I think I'd go for something like a candy heart or something neat.

The heart symbol is widely accepted as symbol for love – mostly in terms of innocent, deep and heartfelt sympathy.

In case you aim to be unique with your choice of a iconographic symbol; don't choose something unusual for the sake of being unusual.

Perhaps, if you have a specific context, it can be appropriate to choose something special, but that should be reflected carefully.

Lets say, you have a site about lashes-fetish or stuff – perhaps it'd do better to depict some lingerie arranged as a heart, or have black leather strings forming a heart.

Otherwise, if it is just a random context (what is yours?), I'd stick with the well-established standards.

You may explore direct references to Love:


Cupid as an angel with a bow, son of Venus
Venus (goddess of Love)
a couple kissing


Or maybe something less direct:


a love letter
vine
red roses
