Mine is this one:

哈
A friend once said it looks like a house, and now that’s all I can see. It’s so cute.
My favorite one is fire (and I can’t type it here) because it looks like a man (character) waving about as if on fire. I know that’s kind of sick.
燕
yan1, meaning swallow (the kind of bird)
it’s just so ballanced and airy. very zen.

鼎
I think it looks like a centaur, with arms held high and four legs.
That made me think of Starship Troopers.
I’ve many favourites, but 龜 is right up there among them. It’s such a pleasure to write, flows from the pen and can hardly fail to come out looking good, and is such a splendid representation of the lovely creature(s) it depicts.

My favorite is 龜 too.
I also like this one:
from 挑釁 (tiao3 xin4): to provoke
傘 is so realistic you could almost use it for real. Simplified 伞 not bad either.
會
I was disappointed back in the day to find out this didn’t mean “angry”, to me it looks for all the world like an angry Chinese hat wearing dude…

:bravo: Haha, I didn’t know that others also have their favourite characters. Well, I have my to.
承
This one looks like an exotic dancer, love it. Coincidentally it’s also compound of the name of my friend.

I used to like 學 a lot because I remembered how to write it by thinking of it as a building crushing the small child below.
Mine are:

飞机
