Which is better?

This:



or this:



In both cases, the unfamiliar symbol represents a delay. I use a Greek delta (Δ) to represent transmission line delay, and a square to represent inertial delay in equations, so I want matching circuit symbols. There aren't really any nice standard symbols, other than some quite yucky ones from the async literature that I don't really want to use for aesthetic reasons. I won't say which one I prefer, because I'd rather hear an unbiassed opinion from you lot.

The bare triangles might look better if they were shifted up a bit, so that instead of the distance being the same above and below the line on which they are impaled, the area was the same. Also if the delta-ness could be emphasized by thickening one of the diagonals, so it looks more like a letter in a book face and less like an equilateral triangle.

Yes!

ahhh maybe thats it... if it was written as a delta in fancy font or even italicised then it would be less random triangly and thus more sensicle....
