I'm not from the Great State of Pennsylvania, I'm from that other Great State,
Massachusetts, but the few times I've driven through _your_ Commonwealth, I
seem to remember the symbol being just a little bit bigger:

                         +--------+
                          \      /
                 +---------+    +---------+
                 \                        /
                  \                      /
                   \                    /
                    \                  /
                     \                /
                      \              /
                       \            /
                        \          /          12 lines
                         +--------+

Now, if you want it a bit smaller:


      +------+
       \    /
  +----+    +----+
   \            /
    \          /
     \        /
      \      /      8 lines
       +----+

Or, how about:

       +----+
        \  /
     +--+  +--+
      \      /
       \    /    6 lines
        +--+

Although, looking at this again, it sort of looks like a cheap drawing of a
vase.  Well, you get what you pay for...  ;>
