I think he has several -- he uses the purple one a lot now -- but i believe the gold one is the original one, premiered during The Gold Experience era -- first shown on his love4oneanother site with nothing more said than "habibi"

I always thought "habibi" was meant to be said with a Latino accent. As in "Hi, Baby".

Habbibi caused me to have heart palpitations and nearly caused embarrasment at a Party I threw.

I threw a Prince Party not too long ago and a friend of mine made the symbol out of Cardboard and tinfoil (Classy I know)...in the darkened light it looked ok. I was looking at it and there was something terribly ary with the look of it. At first I thought it was backwards and told one of the crew to turn it around (we were not sure that it would look ok on the other side...It was a crack project btw) but I grabbed my gold cd and took a look. The "t" at the bottom was missing. I looked around and everywhere the was a symbol, the little "t" mark at the bottom was missing on all of them.

My friend comes up to me and asks how eveything looks. I replied Great but pointed out hte error...and said "Please fix that NOW". She took the crackhead crown and off she went to go get her tin foil to fix the issue.

Later after the party I asked her what was she thinking. She said she had no symbol to look at, so she used the picture of his gold guitar. UM...I am certian that if one did a tiny search on the net, she'd find it. rolleyes

Habibi has many meanings and it does not mean darling in arab not tryin to be rude it means my love in arab. In Maltese it means my friend. So many different meanings.

He's had some of them sprayed/painted - I think the black glittery one from JOTY tour is the purple one now.
But I could be wrong.

Nah... He has a black one, a gold one, a purple one, and several copies of those colors. Might even have a white or blue one, can't remember.

Also has the cloud in several colors as well (white, yellow, blue).
