The first one is wrong. I have been a hindu for 18 years, and I have never seen an aum like that. Its rediculious that some people actually consider using it and would support it. It is totally misrepresenting a symbol. If you want proof, click here: [http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?ei=UTF-8&p=om+symbol&ni=18&fr=sfp&b=1]

'''Request:''' I am working on an icon in Adobe Illustrator 10. I cannot save it as an SVG file without an error, and saving to any other format (GIF/JPG/PNG) causes adverse effects to the image. (The above image is a JPG, and it was created by taking a screen shot of the artboard in Illustrator &mdash;— an odd way of accomplishing that!) The work is derived from two GNU icons in SVG ([[:Image:Television.svg]] and [[:Image:Nuvola apps edu languages.svg]]), so it should work. I've tried everything and I can't get anywhere. I uploaded the Illustrator file, and in order to bypass the warning, I renamed the file [[:Image:Gameshow.svg]] with an SVG extension. Help!

'''Graphist opinion:'''

I tried to do it with Inkscape, but the current Inkscape only supports the postscript based .ai file format, not the current pdf based one.
