Barbara-

I'd say it depends on the amount of information in the picture. If the 
thing's got four legs, and a trunk and etc., I'll recognize it as being an 
elephant. As long as I only see a grey blob, it might as well be a closeup 
of a mouse.

The T-O-maps without labels are just an "o" with two lines on the inside, so 
although I agree there is a good probability for a T-O-map, to me there 
currently is no proof that the VM illustrations really are this. For what 
it's worth, they also resemble symbols used in Germany for gas stations.

Cheers,
