Hoover Park Bathroom
This one is hard to read, but I think it says: CASP or CASP backwards 7). I saw a similar tag off California Ave. I will post a pic when I get one.

Symbols
Here are some symbols I have seen:
- 07
- (an arrow)
- II
- II with a box around it.
- 1
- •
- ••
- backwards 7
Hoover Park, Palo Alto & Mt. View
These seem to be the same tag, but about 3 miles apart. It looks like JQSTZ or JGSTZ.
Bay Area Pennisula Graffiti Identification
Thanks in part to "Gangland" on the History Channel, and in part to the increase in tagging in my area, I decided to try to learn how to identify, decipher and crack gang graffiti's arcane code. I searched the internet with helpful, but limited results, but was quickly frustrated. Very little information on Bay Area gang graffiti.
So 35 later I created this blog where I plan to post geo-tagged pictures of gang-tagged object and ask for people to give me some help. If you are a gang member, I have no connection with the police and would love to get your input.
Feel free to post pictures of your own local graffiti (Bay Area only, no artsy-fartsy shit, just gang stuff please) and maybe get a little clarity into not only the lexicon of gang graffiti, but the roots and reasons for gangs.
