Yin Yang symbol not correct...

The white(yang) needs to go upward and the black(yin) needs to face down. It is not an authentic replication of the yin yang symbol and I demand it be altered!

Traditionally, the Taijitu has been rotated in many different positions... it really doesn't matter.

You Confucianists with your demands. Taoists wouldn't worry about such things...

While we're at it, the "peace symbol" smiley is more of a logo for Mercedes-Benz:

The same goes for the pentagram, and whether or not one or two points point up. The swastika (as an Indian symbol) also could angle to the left or right.
It only matters with the Christian cross because otherwise it would be an obscene crucifixion.

Unless you were Peter (the apostle/saint)...
"Later traditions, originating in or recorded in the apocryphal Acts of Peter, say that the Romans crucified Peter upside down at his request, due to his wishing not to be equated with Jesus."

You better not let the Gestapo hear you say that! They'd pull a few teeth out of you for that one!
A right-facing swastika is the evil Nazi symbol. The ancient religious symbol is left-facing OR right facing, but if it's right-facing it's also an evil Nazi swastika. So you can be clear that it's not a Nazi symbol by making it left-facing.
And a pentagram has two points up. If it only has one point up it's just a star, not a pentagram.
And Ummm... Yeah the "peace" symbol needs to be changed. This IS a Mercedes-Benz logo. I never even thought it was supposed to be a peace symbol until I just now clicked on it and saw that it's labeled "peace". I always wondered why you would have a Benz logo here! Here is what a peace symbol looks like.
Here's a link to a history page on it. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/~lcushing/addpages/PeaceSymbolArticle.html
