Does “time shift symbol” mean “daylight savings time”?
Yes.
Thanks for the hint. They look really good, but the time shift symbols are probably a bit too complicated to work in the small font size. However, probably I’ll adopt the seasons symbols for my calendar 
.
I agree that the time shift symbols have too much going on. The seasonal ones remind me of
I tried to improve the time shift symbol design to much better match the character of the Palatino font and to better work in smaller sizes. And I raised the moon symbols a bit. What do you think? Should I keep the dpts at 3-6-9-12?
@chris @paperdigits I would be happy to provide more feedback but this thread has become a discussion about symbol design. Should we split it?
Yes I will do that shortly.
I agree, please go ahead.
By “shortly” I meant “a week later”

That’s OK, I am working on a full calendar tutorial for almost a week now and am still far from finishing it. So much to do and so little time …
If the calendar is for the new year, you still have plenty of time to finish . As for the daylight savings icon, I don’t think the new one matches the character of Palatino or the moon symbols. The most apparent difference is the stress (see: Typeface anatomy - Wikipedia). Also, the arrowhead is way too imposing:
- It doesn’t have room to breathe.
- It makes the rest of the clock appear off-kilter.
Just my thoughts. I am not a designer or anything 
.
Hm, the arrow is taken from the original font, but I had to shrink the head a bit to have room for the hands. I think it is much better without the scale points. I already prepared something but need time to finish it to show it here.
And there is not much time left if I want to have ~10 different calendars produced as christmas gifts. Photo selection is the most difficult part.
I assumed that you had completed that part 
. If someone gave me a unique photo calendar for Christmas, I would be ecstatic!
@chris I was bored the other day and drew a couple of daylight saving and moon icons. Haven’t adapted them to match small font sizes or your typeface choices.

@afre Sorry, but I ordered the Calendars on Tuesday, so your work may be included next year at the earlyest . It was just in time for the yearly discount of my supplier. I thought. Just to realise on Wednesday morning that they extended a second time. The extra week could have improved the Calendars even more …
Now I probably have some time to finish my calendar making tutorial for pixls.us. 50 % done already. @patdavid, do we have the possibility to host some video here to embed into a post? I did not require a youtube account so far and hope that it can stay like that.

We should be able to host video! Or one of us can upload it to YouTube if you’re not opposed.
Yippieh, the calendars arrived! 7 for the family (2 still missing but here I have a little more time) and one I did for the tutorial (the tutorial is still not finished but I think I can start posting the first part soon). The full stack can be seen in the photograph, with the tutorial “Play Raw” calendar being the visible one
