Thanks, Dan & I knew what the symbol looked liked but couldn't figure out what is actually is. To me it looks a bit dragon like, or maybe a centipede, or maybe something to do with a spider. I am currently trying to carve it in leather pic.twitter.com/G8ihdNvzDh

Nice work! That symbol is the All-Dragon, or the World-Dragon. To some it is Io, to others Asgorath, but to Signers it is the Wyrm that links and births all planes and cosmologies, and transforms one cosmology to another—and 2)
…it is also THE Dragon, or the Self (as Signers believe “the world exists because the mind imagines it. Without the self, the multiverse ceases to be.”) The faction sigil depicts the All-Dragon flying/swimming in the aether…#Planescape— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 5, 2020

…of primal nothingness up to regard you (you = a Signer, member of the faction), meeting your eye, challenging you to join it, become one with it, and so dream and shape the multiverse 4)
Metagame: it is no coincidence that the magazine published by TSR was originally called “The Dragon.”#Planescape— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 5, 2020
(And by "cosmologies" here I mean the Great Wheel, the World Tree, the World Axis, the crystal spheres we saw in Spelljammer, with the aether there being referred to as the phlogiston.)
