The love heart symbol might additionally be derived from the shape built by swans' necks in a courting ritual, which resembles the heart shape. Inverted love heart symbols have been used in heraldry as stylized testicles (coglioni in Italian) as from the canting arms of the Colleonis of Milan.
The heart symbol has been used in everything in the I Love New York ad crusade to Mad Magazine's hide image un-endorsing Barack Obama. The Oxford English Dictionary revised its entry on the symbol, transitioning to heart, citing that it "may be the first English usage to develop via the medium of T-shirts and bumper-stickers."
