I decided to cover the heart-shape symbols in the Pink Rangers, they are the only rangers to have heart-shape visors. Hearts usually symbolize love, in most cultures. The history of the heart shape (since it doesn't really look like a human heart which it represents) harks back to silphium pod, which has been used since the 15th century as early data indicates, but probably earlier than that.
Momo Ranger (1975)The first Pink ranger, from the first team ever, had a heart. It probably is a stereotypical symbol that are said that women like, or a symbol that through time has been tied to women. Most things that include little girls has heart symbols somewhere. She even had heart earrings.
Heart Queen (1977)It is in her name and on her boot cuff, arm band, and cufflink, other than her visor.
Five Pink (1990)13 years later, another Pink Ranger has a heart symbol.
Time Pink (Timeranger, 2000) / Pink Ranger (Time Force, 2001)
Go-Kai Pink (Go-Kaiger 2011)Eleven years later, another Ranger has a heart symbol (with the stylized lines below it), probably a homage to Momo Ranger, but she is the fifth.
Note: Pink Flash and Pteraranger kind of look like hearts but are not full hearts, the top of Pink Flash's visor kind of looks like a heart but is flat on bottom. And Pteraranger's round parts are way too oval to be considered a heart, even though it sort of reminds people of a heart.
