I'm putting together a upper and need to install a forward assist. Is there any other options than the round, teardrop or the plug thing that just covers it up? I see all manner of magazine release buttons...billet, extended, square, little skull looking one...etc. Just wondering if there isn't one so run of the mill for the FA?

I believe that the only option other than those you have already named is the AR Gas Vent.

ETA: Interesting that no one seems to make any 'custom' forward assist buttons, considering the range of dust covers, magazine catches, etc. available.

Honestly......I don't know. But it seems as though there are a zillion options when it comes to damn near every part on the AR except for FA buttons. I looked around, but came to a loss. I was just wondering if there were any options that were out there that just were not too well known.

ETA: And yes, if you could come up with something different you would corner the market as no other competition exists. Time to start thinking......

Well, IF you needed to use it, you usually panic smash it a couple of times. I cant think of a better shape that wouldn't put a hole in my hand. Its also the open side for a right handed shooter. Snags are probably more likely.
