I would like more signaling opportunities related to rationality. Specifically, I recently searched for a logo indicating that I was open to Crocker's rules, and could not find one.

This seems like a significant failure. Perhaps particularly so given that there are multiple logos allowing you to indicate, for example, that you are an atheist, despite the fact that this is usually not generally a very useful thing to signal, and may be inappropriate in the workplace.

I'm not sure if this is me being obsessive about iconography, or if there is any sort of real interest in rationality-related icons. In either case, I'm not volunteering to design anything myself, but I would appreciate a typical-mind check.

I saw this recently, and immediately thought it must have something to do with rationality:

But it was actually the symbol for mental health services.

I think that you can make an argument like this about any agent with well described attributes because all complex agents are going to be based on humans unless the author makes a effort to make them completely alien.

I don't want to play it online. I want the cards! There are services to print sets like this one http://www.meinspiel.de/ (German, but there must be others).

Like it is easy for me to sit here and say to young people, one, you should invest in broad index funds, not funds concentrated in trendy areas like the Internet or clean technology, and, two, you should try to minimize fees instead of paying someone just to rebrand index funds for you. But you should drink tap water instead of Coke, too, and stay home and read Proust instead of blowing a whole month of your salary on Taylor Swift tickets. All consumption is dumb, if you think too hard about it. That's why it is consumption.

This quote would have been better without those last two lines. Those two lines have distracted all of your readers from the point of the quote.
