Goal

Whereas a check mark can represent a Task, a Goal doesn't really have any icon for it even though it's an important thing in project management, and in life.

The ones I've seen out there are usually:

• a gunsight, which has obvious connotations to guns and violence,
• an archery target (kind of as above)
• a football/soccer/hockey goal
• a basketball hoop
• a mountain flag
• a milestone / pointer sign

These are all akin to having a floppy disk represent the Save function. I don't think these things are relevant or desirable and there isn't yet any symbol that represents a Goal. I've struggled to think about the best way to represent it, and it'd be great if someone could think of one because 'goals' are an important part of life and of PM/collaboration apps.
