I would like to see an agreed upon design for distribution - perhaps more stickers, t-shirts, etc. I also think one of the banners for the site, the "look dead" one with the bloody handprints, would be good for mass distribution as well. i looked for a shirt in the shop, but couldn't find one. as the younger generation seems to go for t-shirts and superficial advertising trends, a mass notification campaign may help address the high risk level for that demongraphic being wiped out in the coming zombie apocalypse due to their inane obsessions with inconsequential and distracting nonsense like twitter and fallout boy. they should be focusing on training to fight the impending hordes of undead, not watching reality television.

My own silly attempt can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/?mty54ysfevy. It is mostly based on some of the comments above and is by no means the final version. I also think the final symbol must be black-only, like the biohazard symbol. Ah, well. I agree there is a need for a universally accepted symbol for zombies.

I think I'll take a stab at it, have to pick my brains for a minute. The lost zombies stickers are pretty sweet though. Hmmm, creating a unique, understandable sign sounds like a great idea.

Tradition dictates that you put the tip of the pike through the left eye socket for undead and the right eye socket for the decapitated heads of non-undead opponents (of course, that's archaic since we no longer decapitate prisoners or corpses in warfare, but the rule was established in the Byzantine Empire under Justinian so what do you expect?). If others have failed to educate themselves on the etiquette of warfare against the undead I am not responsible for their ignorance.

Plus, when the printers stop running and materials are scarce, the universal sign will have been in the minds of everyone from the early days and any homemade signs from then on out will likely be recognized as crude imitations of the official, universal sign for ZOMBIE. How does a head on a pike work? Especially after a few weeks? That only tells me that people in this area might eventually cut off your head and stick it on a pike. A universal zombie sign cannot contain any language or country specific symbols. It needs to combine universal imagery. The circle with a line through it is pretty universal, as is biohazard. The skull needs to have some human or "live" imagery to distinguish it from the entire skull which just means death. I'd like to know a little more than just "death" I want to everyone to recognize "potential zombie death"!
