A: Chaosium's Star Elder Sign and Yellow Sign designs are copyright to Chaosium, and cannot be used without permission*.

The Chaosium Yellow Sign was created by Kevin Ross and is © copyright 1989 Chaosium Inc. nb there are other versions of Lovecraftian elder signs available; these here are the ones that are Chaosium's IP.
