The most recognizable heart symbol is depicted as the outline of a heart with tips that curl inward at its top. More simplified heart, solid designs also appear in the series, although they are featured less prominently.

The {{nihongo|[[Nobody]] symbol|ノーバディのマーク}} is primarily associated with [[Organization XIII]] and the Nobodies it commands, and many of the members' weapons incorporate the symbol into their design. Every single lesser Nobody is emblazoned with the Nobody symbol, and a few are even shaped like it. The [[

Non-existent Proof]], [[Challenge Sigil]], [[Unity Badge]], and [[Ordeal Badge]] all feature the symbol. Certain accessories with connections to Organization XIII, such as the [[Full Bloom]] and [[Shade Archive]], also use the symbol. The symbol is featured countless times in the architecture and decorations of [[The Castle That Never Was]] and other areas related to the Organization. [[Two Become One]] is the only Keyblade to sport the full Nobody emblem in its design.

[[Two Become One]] is the only Keyblade to sport the full Nobody emblem in its design.
The Nobody emblem resembles an upside-down Heartless emblem in shape, but with several circular notches taken out of its edges. The symbol's base is shaped like an upside-down heart, while its top is a thin, spiked cross. Spikes and sharp edges often evoke the Nobody emblem without the full symbol being displayed. The symbol is usually depicted as white or silver, like most Nobodies. [[Xemnas]] created the symbol based on [[Terra]]'s fragmented memories, and, as a result, the Nobody emblem bears a strong resemblance to Terra's mark.

Crowns are another heavily featured symbol of the series and are part of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' logo along with the curled heart symbol. [[Sora]] notably wears a silver crown necklace in most of his forms and can in fact wear a [[crown]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''. [[Puzzle]] pieces and [[Mission Crowns]] are represented by golden crowns. Limit Form and, in Halloween Town, [[Final Form]], is represented by crowns. The tops of the cards used in [[Castle Oblivion]] are shaped like the standard crown, and are featured on the front of some cards. A [[

The most widely used crown symbol in the series is a flat, three-pronged crown that appears in a wide variety of colors, most commonly gold and silver. The shape of the crowns prongs create a negative space silhouette of the [[Kingdom Key]]'s teeth. Strategy guides for the series occasionally use a yellow symbol that could be a crown viewed from above. This symbol is a ring with spikes along its outer edge and an "X" in its center, and is used to represent characters and enemies that cannot be classified as Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed or Dream Eaters.

An artifact called the [[Star Shard]] allowed for transportation from one World to another, albeit randomly. Several accessories and Keyblades incorporate stars into their designs, such as the [[Star Seeker]]. [[Paopu Fruit]] are star-shaped fruit which supposedly create bonds between friends that can span many different Worlds. [[Wayfinder]]s, lucky charms modeled after Paopu Fruit, have a similar reputation. The Wayfinders made by Aqua in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' manifests these bonds of friendship physically, in the form of the [[Dimension Link]] system. Paopu Fruit and Wayfinders are featured in the designs of several important Keyblades, including the Ultima Weapon and [[Oathkeeper]]. [[Yen Sid]]'s powerful sorcerer's hat is adorned with several stars and moons.

Each Organization XIII member has a symbol displaying a black silhouette of his or her exclusive weapon. For members that carry multiple weapons, such as [[Xaldin]], only the silhouette of one weapon is shown. However, both of Roxas's Keyblades and three of Larxene's Knives are silhouetted on their personal panels. Xemnas is the only member whose primary weapons, the [[Interdiction]] Ethereal Blades, are not silhouetted. Instead, Xemnas is represented by the silhouette of the shield used by the [[
