Yeah I can see the resemblance. I designed the symbol some time last year. I noticed earlier this year that it resembles the logo of a certain chain of veterinary hospitals.

The yinrih themselves are largely inspired by me processing the aging and eventual passing of one of my dogs, hence why the average yinrih lifespan is an inversion of the typically quoted dog:human ratio of 7 dog years to 1 human year. My dog ended up passing at one of these hospitals.
