Whether or not HIM's sigil will hurt your fish will depend on what it is made out of.
If you have access to a sand-blaster, you could make it out of a piece of glass, round the edges (so they don't cut the fishes' fins), wash it really well to get rid of the excess sand, and mount it however you want.
Otherwise, you could use acrylic, stainless steel, any sort of neutral stone, or neutral driftwood. There are aquarium-safe paints (be sure you follow directions on letting it dry).
The coolest looking choices will also be the most difficult to do (sorry), unless you're friendly with an art teacher on a college campus.
Be sure you do not use any metal that you aren't sure is stainless steel. Copper is a commonly used metal in alloys, and will kill your tank if it begins leeching into the water. Same with glazes. If you were to use ceramics, grill someone who's really knowledgeable about the subject and make sure there's nothing but silica, grit, and maybe iron in it. Blues and greens are usually made with copper in one form or another. Many of the other colors are made with heavy metals.
