This is all speculation on the author's part, and they obviously didn't think too long or look too hard at the symbols, nor did they do any research. These are my interpretations, they're not particularly deep, and they're from a graphic designer's point of view. They're also speculation, but there's more research and studying of the symbols involved than just noting coincidental numbers.

1) The A single symbol is meant to look like pi. The theme of the single is cycles and circles. One look at the design will tell you that, plus the different colors start with different tracks. It's not always monochrome first, different colors have the first 12 tracks in a different order. They start with one of the other songs, but the cycle is still the same. monochrome, too late, Trauma, End roll, monochrome, too late, Trauma, End roll... etc. Also, if you write that A symbol the way a japanese person would (i.e. how kanji strokes usually go), it's only 3 strokes, not 4.

2) The A logo? It's just an A. That's it. The symbol actually comes from the right-side half of the pi A symbol mirrored over itself. (Go on, look at it. Bet you didn't notice that before. ^_^)

3) The author is correct that the H is just meant to look like the same "font" (for lack of a better word) as her trademark A logo. But the number of strokes doesn't mean a damn thing. An H just freakin' has three strokes in it! ~!!!!
