Ataraxia of International Association of Rubberists tells about the new rubberist pride symbol:
“The gays have a universally recognized symbol. So do the BDSM, Leather and Trans-gendered folks! In fact, it seems like everybody EXCEPT US has one!
So, we are beginning to introduce the “|R|” symbol as a general, “Rubber Pride” symbol indicating “Rubberist” to replace the ill-fated “two dots” idea which never took off.
|R| is pronounced “bar - R - bar”, refers to Rubber Fetishists only and is Not specific to any particular sexual preference, orientation, gender or other classification.
|R| can be easily created on your keyboard and used in, for example, email signatures or anywhere else you write anything! It is very, very versatile and fast!

I´ve got a fetish for shiny clothes in all colors.(I prefer skintight to loose ones, but that´s not important.) I think most fetishist like more materials than only rubber or latex. They also like shiny pvc, leather etc.
We better should use |S|
What do you think ?
i’ve never understood this desire for a logo or symbol, its always seemed a bit silly to be honest, still live and let live i guess
I don’t think that a |S| would make any sense.
Sorry, but leather don’t do anything for me.
I like that |R| stands for Rubberist, that’s what I am!
just borrowed your image for two articles on http://www.crfriends.de!
gixxi |R| ;o)
What about a secret handshake now we are at it?! ;P
Anyways, Sure… why not I’ll gladly wave a |R| in front of people or place it on my website just to support the idea.
But I think one of the reasons why “we” never have had or really needed any symbol is due to the fact we are extremely recognizable already, it’s hard to confuse “our” fetish with any other.
