so, I'm looking at the sigals on the character's clothing, and each other time the clothing differs, the symbol on Lena's outfit is not the same as Sasrai's, and the one on Sasarai's hat is not the same as the one on his shirt, also, Nash's and Lena's have some differances.

over msn I asked some members about this (group msn chat) some said it was lack of continuity or artist's rendetions, I belive it might be 10% that and the rest a signyfer of status or job.
with an aception of one card stories image, where Sasarai's insigna is not like the one normaly used.

It seems there are common themes in the symbol, fluted feet, "horns", "wings" and pentagon and shield shapes in the middle. The more ornate the image, the more prestige the person has. For example Sasarai's big hat has extra parts near the "wings".

Oh and one more thing, the image in my banner, is also differnt from all the ones I mention(i don't recall exactly where it came from though)

so there we have it, do you all here thing it is a signfyer of one's place in the higher up socioty? or for people involved with the Temple? or is it a lack of being able to draw the same glyph over and over again?

I think that putting different jobs/status with the symbols is a good way to explain the variation within the story, but I think that it probably does have to do with artistic preference. I doubt that the artists couldn't reproduce the symbol—I think it's more that they just vary it as they feel like it. :)
