Editing Series symbol

{{ArticleIcons|series=y}}
:''This article lists the logos of every universe that appears in the ''Smash'' series. For information about the ''Smash'' series logo specifically, see [[Super Smash Bros. logo]]''.
A '''series symbol''' is the logo that represents another game [[universe]], assigned to playable [[characters]] and [[stages]]. For characters, it is displayed next to a character's [[damage meter]] (the same color as the character), as well as on the [[Victory Screen]]. For stages, it's visible on the Stage Selection screen. To an extent, these symbols are also applicable for [[item]]s (as seen on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] pages), [[trophy|trophies]] (as seen on ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' [[Collection|trophy collection]]s) and [[music]] (as seen on ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' [[sound test]]s), however, all these require a character or stage representative in order to have a symbol assigned, otherwise, there is no symbol at all or the [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Smash Bros.'' logo]] is assigned by default. This is a list of all the symbols, along with a short explanation of what they are and where they come from within their game universes, and a picture.

==Trivia==
{{ImageCaption|Image:FireEmblemSymbol.svg|Image:FireEmblemSymbol(BrawlResults).svg|width1=100px|width2=100px|caption=Left: standard symbol.<br/>Right: ''Brawl'' results screen variant.}}
*In ''Brawl'', the ''Fire Emblem'' series symbol as used on the [[results screen]] has a somewhat different design than in all of its other appearances (in both the rest of ''Brawl'' and in all other ''Smash'' games). The ''Brawl'' results screen variant has a thinner blade, an extended crossguard, an asymmetrical hilt, a longer handle, and a flat-sided pommel.
*In ''Smash 4'', the {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}} herself has a ponytail hairstyle, but the series symbol has her hair in a bun. A similar case occurs with [[Wii Fit (Final Smash)|her Final Smash]].
*''Super Smash Bros.'', ''The Legend of Zelda'', ''Kirby'', and ''F-Zero'' are the only universes to use their exact same symbols in all ''Smash Bros.'' games.
