  Sorry about that. Actually, it was a typo for logo. In retrospect, it may have been better to use icon, or symbol. At ant rate, I was talking about the little .25" X .25" representations of the suits that each tile has near one of its corners.

  Actually, the sun suit is orthogonally symmetrical (or perhaps you could say it possesses cartesian symmetry), but I'm not sure you can say it is radially symmetrical, in the sense that rotating it any multiple of 90 degrees will not affect its appearance, but rotating it 45 degrees (for example) will. But yes, I agree that in the case of the sun suit, tile rotation has no effect on its appearance. In the original post to this thread, I failed to notice that you were talking specifically about the sun. Now I appreciate Mark's comment more, and perhaps you can appreciate mine :-)
