Yeah, i may be in the minority, but the S should just be an S.
I liken it to Spidey's organic webs in the first movie. In the '78 Superman the S became a Kryptonian symbol as one less thing to deal with. It basically just stuck.
John Byrne tried, during his 80s reboot to change it up, linking it to native Americans, and the Kent family as opposed to the Els, but it was quietly disregarded (Waid helped out in the mid 00s); not all Byrne ideas were gold.
With the MoS movie, the S as a Kryptonian symbol is pretty much set in stone.
