I don't think it's possible to summarize diversity with only one item to start with, and the fact there's so many different styles and possibilities available on Gaia is part of what's making it unique.. no?
I'm really not sure there's such a thing, I mean we all perceive the website in such a different way... for example when people say Gaia's mascot I think in Diedrich and the kitten stars XD but I know some can't stand either. A symbol from "old Gaia"?, I think in the angelic mini wing, even if that's a really generic design (CLAMP anyone? XD), like I said, I'm sure those things are different for everyone C:
The Good Aspects of Gaia
Gaia Loyal T-shirt: Maybe a too simple item, but the fact that it's such a simple item with the name on the site, greatly represents for better or worse, we're a community, and we all really love this site, which is why we keep coming back day after day 3nodding
The Bad Aspects of Gaia (since we can't pretend they don't exists)
A-Halo: The fact that people hoard dozens of them so the price wont deflate and certain users cant ever have it greatly represents how greedy the users on this site has become. Back when I first joined I felt the community of this site everywhere and everyone wanted each other to succeed. Now many users have become very greedy, have no problem AI-ing an item and have devloped an every-man-for-himself mentality.
I always thought of Gaia-sama, even though I don't know what the description means.
The one item that makes me f34R gaia is Ultra Satan. Nope. Nopenopenopenopenonnope.
Actually, items with weird/ quirky descriptions are always things I look forward to on Gaia.
I know there are gold shop item, like in Edmond's shop, but I can't remember which.
i also have to say the watermeat, angelic halo. even though it's such a generic item i forever associate the angelic halo with gaia. items like the omg hat and watermeat i consider for the same reasons as you. I also really want to say the orly hat for some reason.

i would say gaia-chan makes me think of gaia more haha
also it says takai desu yo. which basically means it's expensive!
Amigo Pants, Buckteeth, Kitten Stars, G-wing lookin' stuff. I dunno. Everything is Gaian in its own way! 'Cause no matter what you put on, someone most likely won't be like "YOU ARE SO NOT A GAIAN WOW NERD BYE. #ratchet talk2hand "
