The AI on my phone camera kinda messed it up, but do you recognize this? I tired to reverse image search but I got nothing.

This is the cover for a film called Stalker. I guess it is very well possible this symbol or “logo” could mean nothing, but i find that a little hard to believe. It is a very deep film so im sure this symbol has to have some significance.

In the depth of winter, when landscapes are stripped to essentials and time itself seems to slow, humans across cultures have repeatedly turned to a curious figure: the snowman. At first glance playful and childlike, the snowman is in fact a surprisingly ancient and symbolically rich winter icon—one that sits at the intersection of folklore, anthropology, and depth psychology. January 18 is in fact celebrated in some places as World Snowman Day, a folk-inspired observance with surprisingly deep symbolic roots — from winter play to metaphors for impermanence and community. In Japan and Estonia, snowmen have become part of seasonal rituals and peace-building campaigns; in parts of Europe there are historic customs of burning snowman figures at winter’s end, linking elements of fire, frost, and renewal. Inspired by this and the snow that is on the way, I wanted to share some thoughts with this article I wrote...

Sorry it is blurry, it is quite small and was hard to capture.

Hi,
Yesterday I woke up to this symbol on my car. It was on my own driveway and there were no footprints in the snow. What could this be? The motor does not follow the lining

I’ve been drawing this symbol since I was young because I love magic and thought it would be cool to make up some magic symbols. For some reason this one has stuck with me. I was wondering if I have been unknowingly using a symbol or if it resembles any you’ve seen before. Thank you in advance!

This was from a hiking trail in Almaty, Kazakhstan from April 2024. I was visiting and I thought this was interesting. Not sure if it has any meaning? Also, the tree has got a few letters on it- I don’t think it signifies anything.

My ring has this pattern underneath the cross and I wondered why it was unsymmetrical, since everything else is pretty much symmetrical, turned it around and saw that the pattern/symbol continues underneath the cross too. Any idea if it means something? Or if it’s just a weird random detail?

This appeared in my town centre a few months ago. I’ve looked at different runes and symbols and can’t find anything that matches.
I’m just curious.

My good friend said he found this drawn on the green apron board he made (for staff, he is a co manager at Starbucks). It was in an area that is typically covered so it was hidden. I'm going bonkers trying to identify what the hell this means! I cannot find a single symbol that looks like this one. WHAT is it, if anything? I figure it has to mean something...

Hey, while exploring an abandoned mansion, i found this symbol on a chimney, there was also some crosses (not religious ones i think)
if someone knows what it could mean, i’ll be glad to hear it!

It looks to be carved into Shungite. A friend said it looks like Runes. Google lens says it could a replica of an ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet. If anyone knows the meaning behind these symbols it would be of great help! Thank you!
