Territorial Glyphs

Territorial Glyphs are sometimes used by packs of Vampires, Garou and even some groups of Magi to claim a particular area within a city or, perhaps, the city itself. 
Glyphs are typically geometric symbols or slogans that can be scrawled on walls, sidewalks or even on people if that person is considered 'property' of the group. 
The concept is that the glyphs are used as a warning to all those not within the group to stay away. Gangs have been marking their territory for quite sometime and the Supernatural groups are no different. 
Well, there is a slight difference:
*Garou Glyphs: These glyphs are often scratched into walls with their claws but also can be spray painted and such. Typically they will also leave a bit of scent (often blood or urine) in the glyph so that any other shifter will be able to tell that they are in the territory of another.
*Vampire Glyphs: These glyphs can be in nearly any format; from spray painted designs to neon signs. Those vampires who are more 'street-oriented' have been known to infuse their markings with elder blood (or the blood of whoever is most senior within their group) as a possible warning to other vampires to stay away from their feeding grounds.
**Vampires also tend to 'tag' those humans that they are protecting as favored feeding vessles. Should one of their chosen herd turn up missing or injured, the pack will spare no expense to hunt down whoever invaded their territory or disrespected their mark. 
*Mage Glyphs: Mage glyphs are tricky in that they can be in any form just like those of vampires but typically are given a small 'umph' of will so that any other will-worker can feel that it's a "real" glyph rather than just a copied symbol. There's never enough energy placed within the glyph that would be able to be used in a tracer effect, but if you walked close enough to it you'd know it was there.
