There appears to be a european standard (or at least common useage) for
various schematic symbols that I don't like.  I prefer symbols that remind
you as much as possible of the electrical function of the part.  For
example, I think the zigzag line for a resistor is more intuitive than a
rectangle.  There are also different conventions for logic elements that I
feel do less to illuminate what the circuit is doing than the old
fashioned ones.  Some of these are also IEEE standards from around 1980.
A good schematic symbol is intuitive and minimizes the need to look up the
details in the data sheet.
