    The symbol that Prince used as his name is a combination of the symbols for both male and female, and it supposedly "entered his consciousness during meditation"1. He named it the "love symbol" and it had a much deeper meaning to Prince than a simple negotiating tool1. The symbol was first used on the album cover for 1999 in 19822. In 1993, he changed his stage name to the unpronounceable symbol (known to fans as the "Love Symbol") and was often referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (or TAFKAP) or simply The Artist3.
