From a structural vantage, the emblems should indicate that an item is part of a set -- changing the fundamental form / colour would detract from this notion. Since there are no equivalents in the real world: * Consider name tag stickers at a conference -- all identical except for the label itself. * Encyclopedias exhibit the same aspects. * Warning symbols on commercial products too share this factor. There are countless other items that would credibly match this functionality. Remember, the emblems pure function isn't to be entirely distinct -- the icon should dictate that. Further still, by maintaining a fundamental consistency across the emblems, you can elevate user comprehension and usability once they learn how to apply them properly. Sincerely, TJS
