As hokey as the novels are, I like the Dresden Files’ explanation for this. Where the symbol itself doesn’t actually matter, it’s a person’s unwavering faith into what that symbol represents.
That’s how it works in VTM too. I remember reading about a vampire that got wrecked by a credit card, as the businessman wielding it believed in the power of money.
