Well, there's the one everybody has said - the forward facing Rabbit face from his pajamas. However, since you only "see" the tip of one ear, and the lower curve, there are a few other possibilities. I prefer the rabbit theory, personally, and I've got a few theories on that, but let's see what I can do.

1. I've seen suggestions of a sword-in-the-stone kind of emblem. While some people argue that this kind of thing could be Jaune as the rightful hero, I disagree. It's not so much a case of "he who draws the sword from the stone..." as more a case of representing a locked potential. If it's a sealed sword, then it's talking more about his potential as a supporter than his potential as a hero. After all... somebody has to draw the sword and wield it. Jaune is actually a pretty smart character, aside for his dorky ways. All he needs is somebody to "wield" him and shape him from a simple dork into a respectable fighter.

2. A comet. Now, hear me out on this one, it's a long shot. Jaune's current emblem is rainbows, correct? And these tie into arcs. Now, one of the strongest reasons behind the rabbit theory, in my eyes, is the idea that his semblance ties into probability and luck. Call it tipping the scales in his favor through unexplained ways. He can't consciously shape it, so it activates unconsciously. That's why the only "use" of it we have seen was the hardened Aura blocking Cardin's punch. Now, what else has that same sort of "luck" factor into it? A shooting star. Now, the downside to the idea of a shooting star is that the potential only comes once - it burns up and dies after the moment it is brightest. But a comet? It's a rare thing, and viewed as an omen of good fortune... or a warning of bad times. And, more importantly, it's an infrequent event, hence his lack of uses of his semblance.

Do I LIKE either of these theories? No, I don't. I've practically been awake for well over 30 hours doing a psychology assignment, since I don't count the nap where I barely slept. I could probably write better theories here, but the thing is... I actually like the rabbit theory more than the comet or sealed sword. Every other character has a "badass" emblem... but Jaune isn't like everybody else. He's unique in that he's intended as comic relief. The everyman in a world of supermen and -women. So, why should he follow the badass emblem path with a sealed sword or a burning comet? What is so bad about the idea of it being a forward-facing rabbit?
