Then there was this batik-style doodle, going nova:
The amulet from one of Finn's favourite graphic novels,
Amulet:
Symbols for the four elements from
Avatar: The Last Airbender:

Dragon Ball Z logo (I'm especially proud of the little shiny spot on the dragon ball):

The logo from one of Larkin's favorite youtube shows,
Nerdy Nummies (puff paint sprinkles!):
