The size of an adult shell varies between 13 mm and 41 mm.

gollark: Ah, yes, like that time I tried to put a shipyard on Gilly.
gollark: Maybe just have the main bit be Pluto/Charon with the other bodies added in some small way.
gollark: The bident thing might work to reflect the whole "binary system" thing.
gollark: Maybe one of the symbols you suggested in the centre, with a ring/pentagon separated into five differently coloured bits to represent the moons.
gollark: Well, the pentagon can still work. The shape is Pluto, the points are the mööns.
