I saw an explanation of why Prince went for that symbol.  Apparently it was an attempt to get out of a recording contract.  He figured that if he changed his name the contract for "Prince" would no longer be valid.  He wanted to release more albums than his record company did.

It didn't work though which is why he changed back.

Hey...ten wins only one loss...I'm not gonna gripe about that!
