Building a house, want to incorporate TF reference. Need suggestions

I'm in the process of building a house and would like to add some sort of Transformers reference to it. I'm not one whose life revolves around TF that I'd build a shrine for them. I just like TF enough to put in a wink. So something like a small Autobots/Decepticon logo embedded in a ceramic tile or something like that.

Since this is gonna stay there permanently, I want it to be small and discret. The sort of thing that a fellow collector would notice but would otherwise go unnoticed and blends well into the room. An obscur reference would be ideal (like Unicron's head or the Matrix, etc.)

I could use some suggestions as to what/where/how to do this.

thx.

Re: Building a house, want to incorporate TF reference. Need suggestions

well, you could do stuff like model your computer room after the S.T.A.R.S. cardboard background thing or teletraan 1, or have revolving panels in certain rooms so they actually transform, or what about using different coloured shingles on a patch of the roof so your house shows up with a faction symbol on google earth? :P

Why not a stained glass window with a subtle faction symbol or charater head (or anything) integraed in it. And maybe it could be installed in a place where the sun can pass trough and make it appear on a wall or the floor.

you could make the doorbell a transformer sound or song clip

or logo/symbol on the hot and cold water tap heads

or stained glass skylight (modification of Spacemonkey's suggestion ) ?

How about a countertop or entertainment unit designed like Teletran-1? Or incorporate elements of Metroplex, Omega Supreme, or Trypticon Outside? Like a Metroplex's head half sticking out, or a rail system or gun turrets would be sweet. So much for discrete and low key.

If you have a decorative attic vent on the second floor exterior (above the windows, below the roof line)get them to build it as a faction symbol of your choice. That would be sweet..
Painted to match the exterior trim of course..

A Matrix of Leadership pattern blended in to some tile in an entryway, or the kitchen, or on a fireplace surround, really any place you put tile. It could be done in a color very similar to the rest of the tile, or in a color that stands out a little more. I've seen it done before even though it was most likely not supposed to be the Matrix.

there's a lot of good suggestions. Please have them coming.

But somehow, I doubt having it seen from an orbital satallite falls under the discret and low key criteria...
