I agree, Susan. I don't allow my students to use any cartoony
characters, logos, etc. as they are someone else's artwork. I
personally don't care for the hearts/rainbows/team names/yin yang, etc.
that they sometimes want to use in the looser assignments, but as I
said, those symbols are important to them.
