the right combination of colors immediately makes me think of valentine's day. I'd say a pink ribbon/stripe through a rich red background is a subtle but effective reminder. |

If it is about symbols, I think I'd go for something like a candy heart or something neat. The heart symbol is widely accepted as symbol for love – mostly in terms of innocent, deep and heartfelt sympathy. In case you aim to be unique with your choice of a iconographic symbol; don't choose something unusual for the sake of being unusual. Perhaps, if you have a specific context, it can be appropriate to choose something special, but that should be reflected carefully. Lets say, you have a site about lashes-fetish or stuff – perhaps it'd do better to depict some lingerie arranged as a heart, or have black leather strings forming a heart. Otherwise, if it is just a random context (what is yours?), I'd stick with the well-established standards. |

Chocolate could fit in to valentines day together with other symbols. A box of chocolates is quite usual as a present in valentines day. |
