In League of Legends, the Inferno Nasus character has a necklace with three symbols on it. One of the symbols is an Omega, but I don't know what the other two are. Does anyone recognize them?
I'm particularly curious about the second one, since that triangular symbol looks very familiar. Do any companies use that as a logo?
My best guess is that it's a Sierpinski Triangle, the kind where the three triangles overlap as seen on this page, but with two of the three internal lines removed.
Alternatively, some of the symbols for the four classical greek elements look similar – but the lines are in the wrong place and continue outside of the triangle.
Does anyone recognize the triangular symbol with the line through it?

All of these could be variations of Greek letters (in particular: Ω Omega, Δ Delta, Θ Theta / Ο Omicron).
Quite possibly an inspiration for the design (with Nasus's background placing Nasus in what is roughly the equivalent of Ancient Egypt) are Egyptian hieroglyphs. Vertically aligned symbols and the use of underbars and simple shapes on a well-defined base (the individual blocks on the chain) is common there.
That said, these symbols don't match any commonly used characters or symbols, and barring any developer word we cannot - and should not - speculate on their meaning or actual origin.
The underlined Omega could be found in the Omega watchmaker's logo, the Delta might match the TYPO3 logo, and the underlined Omicron with a bold dot inside could be an eye, as used in various logos and logo concepts. The simplicity of these shapes makes them very common abstractions of existing logos, but the shapes themselves are generally not the actual logo.
