I have the distinction of being the world's worst interpreter of art, so if you don't like what I say, that's probably a good thing.
To me anything with the rainbows is too gay. "We're here, we're autithtic, get uthed to it"
That other one kind of does look like a deformed swatiska.
KBABZ is the best so far, now, remember I am the world's worst interpreter of art, so if there is any hidden meaning in it please explain it to me. This one looks like a penis made out of stairs. Kind of funny.

I'm sorry, but you have a very low opinion of your talent. I'm still laughing at you final comment on KBABZ'es sketch.
Don't feel too bad about it KBABZ... I quite liked your sketch, but you'll have to restructure it a bit now. No way can I look at it without bursting out with laughter again.
PS. Mine was obviously useless. I was trying for a bunch of design constraints:
*) Has to be simple. (Simple enough for me to draw it!)
*) As a pin-on badge, to have an outline that was recognisable even without seeing the detail/colour/front. (Actually, KBABZ'es fits this now, but in an unfortunate way.
*) Doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before/elsewhere (versus all that Swastika confusion).
One bit I got wrong was that I think I had in mind more just AS, rather than ASD.
What I had hoped people might read in it were:
*) Infinity, but skewed at bit.
*) Escaping.
*) Outside the box (at least partially)
*) Rectangular box, curvy infinity. Though the box does have rounded corners.
*) Contents of box and infinity are shades of the same colour. We're not that different, just a bit more intense.
*) The whole symbol [i]incudes[/u] the NT world (box), 'cos we're crap on our own.
Bleugh!

I sculpted a model of the nreal projective plane the other day, in clay. Actually, mine was the rather less careful embedding - a cross-cap
When you can come up with a simple 2-D form of a 3-D object that is only, strictly speaking, realisable in 4-D, could you show me.
Also, could you show me where you found the inside of a Klein bottle? (It doesn't have one)
(So I'm a smart-ass)

It wasn't suggestive at all - until GoatOnFire suggested it! (And I just tried it again. Yep. Same reaction. I'm stuck.)
NB. I did say your "sketch" - not a doodle (or an oil painting, for that matter (grin)).
Stick with it KBABZ, the suggestiveness might be a good thing. The stairs could symbolize sexual frustration, a common AS theme. It provides laughs for the dirty minded (you must have a clean mind otherwise you would have burst out laughing in the middle of drawing it).
And Lau, I am the world's worst interpreter of art, and proud of it. Just ask any art museum tour guide who's ever given me a tour.
Their faces are so funny when you get them angry, they're so pretentious yet their bubble is so easy to burst.

Klein bottles not "having an inside" means within a certain volume of the structure inside and
outside surfaces are mathematically indistinguishable.Like the "sides" of the "one sided"
Moebius Loop. You can pour liquids into and out of Klein Bottles.

While it dose have all the colors of the rainbow and most of your don't seem to like that in your opinion (I do though), it's still very preatty. You are allowed to use it or any bit of it if you get to revamping the symbol:
