How about a circle with a lower-case greek delta in the middle?

Alternatively (perhaps better), a triangle pointing in the direction
of time, with a lower-case greek delta in the middle.  (If people pick
up your iconic vocabulary and use it on, e.g.,  whiteboards, they can
leave the delta out and just put the triangle.  You could think of the
delta as just training-wheels for a new iconic vocabulary.)
