Religion symbols

Does Steppe Paganism include the religion of Great Moravia? If so, I think a "quadrifrons" (with three visible faces) statue of Svantevit would do.

Sunni and Shi'a I would just give crescent moons in different colours. Green and Black?

Steppe may or may not include Great Moravia, not sure yet. I like your other suggestions, but what is a quadrifons? Also the symbols are so tiny that very few ideas are possible, it mustn't be a too detailed symbol because it'll be impossible to see with the in-game sizing.

A quadrifrons has four heads. In this case it would basically be two mirrorred profiles and possibly a frontal face in the middle, like this:
<^O_O^>

Or this:

It's probably not something you can make that small. And it is Slavic. I don't know the first thing about other kinds of steppe paganism.

An animal head or something like that might be a good symbol, but I don't know which animal head would be appropriate, if one is at all.

"I am personally not in favour of using a crescent as the symbol for Islam because of this:(...)"

That doesn't say that the crescent is not a symbol of Islam, though, only that early rulers tried to avoid using it. It is still a commonly known symbol of Islam, and even at that time it was probably more used than any other single symbol.
I like your suggestion a lot, but I doubt it will work in such a small icon size.

@Afsin: hm, I also think those might be too detailed for such small icons. A green and a black crescent sounds fine to me, but which one should be black and which one green?

@NeonGod: animal head sounds great! I'll see if it's possible to make a wolf, if not a horse is probably quite easy

I think wolf would be bad ass. Horses sucks. Haven't seen the religion symbols, are they large?
