Nostr probably doesn’t need a symbol at all. Or rather, “Nostr” is already, in and of itself, a rather effective and recognizable typographic symbol.
It also has a major advantage: you can interpret it graphically however you like, adapting it to very different contexts while keeping it instantly recognizable. And this very fluidity makes it timeless, always relevant.
Do you need an icon? An “N” works just fine.
The symbol for Nostr should be a key. Not a stupid ostrich. GM
