Yin Yang

Who owns the yin yang symbol ?

Does anybody own the copyright to the yin yang symbol ? Or can I use it in a graphic design for advertising ?
What do you mean by "design my own from scratch?" I want to use a version of the yin yang symbol. Can I use it if I alter it in a way that hasn't been done yet ?

the concept itself is public domain
but any certain image you pull off the internet is likely copyrighted
so design your own from scratch
-------------
There is the plain and simple black/white symbol itself, that in itself you can use - even if you grab an image off the web no one can really contest it. If you want a little more decoration than just the symbol (adding fish, clouds, vines, etc) you should create that design yourself. - that is what I meant.

for example:
this one can't claim copyright because it is so basic http://z.about.com/d/taoism/1/0/0/-/-/-/yinYang.gif
but this one can be copyrighted http://www.trendir.com/archives/dedon-yin-yang-signature-collection.jpg
