I feel like the icon for NAMBLA, which is usually used as a symbol for BL, is meant to look Greek because of the historical association of pederasty with Greece. However, it doesn't make as much sense for GL, so I thought about what could be more specifically connected to GL. Here are a few ideas I'd thought about a while ago, but never really had a context to share:
A Corinthian column.

"The proportions of the orders were by the ancients formed on those of the human body, and consequently, it could not be their intention to make a Corinthian column, which, as Vitruvius observes, is to represent the delicacy of a young girl, as thick and much taller than a Doric one, which is designed to represent the bulk and vigour of a muscular full grown man." - William Chambers
Pink Calibrochoa

Some of my own designs:

This was inspired by the waist to hip ratio of girls and young women usually being less than mature adult women. It's meant to be rectangular, but graceful.

I cannot see the images, but only the word "Image". Or is it just me?
Squinting helps filtering the noise and seeing the underlying pattern.

Re: Ideas for a new GL logo
A while ago a friend said the appeal of the pink calibrochoa was to do with how the pigments were concentrated in the center. It puts them out of order of how they usually appear in the MAP flag, but it might help it stand out more. So here's another color scheme based on the flower for the concave rectangle. Personally, I like it best of the three.
