Here is a first draft of this content.
Visual Language - Lightning Content

If you dig into the version history of the document, you will see where I started by bringing in the existing Guide content. The most recent version includes my LN additions. I thought it would be useful to briefly talk about the sats symbol (since we spend a good bit of space talking about the Bitcoin symbol) and then spend some time talking about lightning related imagery.

@GBKS I was reading #205 just now and it sounded like you had started doing some work around adding the sats symbol to the page. If there is anything you have already produced here, let me know.

Yes, I've been meaning to add info about the Sats symbol forever. My thinking is that it just needs a small section stating that some people think that there needs to be a dedicated currency symbol for Satoshis, but that there is no established consensus (whether a symbol is needed, and if so, what it should look like). This could be accompanied by a grid of symbol proposals via the linked Figma file in #205. Would be great to add during this revision, but I can also tackle it separately.
