    So here is what I'm thinking

    Circle - Lord of the Rings…or maybe the circle of life from the Lion King

    Star - The Lone Star State - "All things Texas"

    Umbrella - The Umbrella Corporation from hit video game and movie series Resident Evil

    Triangle - If I know Necro like I think I know Necro, that's got to be the Illuminati Symbol…or the Oxygen/Fuel/Heat fire safety triangle.
