Why the heck did we get a Kenwood symbol in the first place? I really
don't think it's appropriate. Why wouldn't you use a car symbol, or a
pedestrian, or whatever? Something that provides a little more useful

Maybe I should request a Honda symbol for my car. Ooh, and then you
could add a type R overlay...
