SMN and SCH's class icon

I think my sense kinda weird to see the meaning of this symbols:
SMN = Wizard Hat
SCH = Ancient Chinese Minister's Hat

I never had any problem identifying the summoner icon, but I would concede that, up to now, all I ever saw in the scholar icon were tusks as well. :p

SCH is obviously a TRON bike.

I always figured that since the weapons were the same between the two, the icons were their respective hats. :D

This. I always assumed it was a mortarboard and horn, respectively.

ditto.

I always assumed that the SCH icon was a mortarboard instead of glasses or a book

I always though it looked like a scale as well.
Not that that would make any real sense for the job, but that is what I thought it was.


EDIT: Looks like the people on the JP forum are wondering the same thing... and a Dev answered!

So the SCH icon are glasses. Now to find out what the SMN icon is...

Sorry for the double (and not to mention necro) post, but a Japanese Dev was kind enough to list all the job icons on their Lore forums:

I guessed all right! Go me :3

BLM = comet <-- somehow I'm unable to see this. I always thought it looked like an animal paw LOL though that makes no sense obviously
