Gijs, are you using a gdevice that has multiple colours? If so, SAS will
use symbol1 and cycle through all available colours before moving to use
symbol2. You can overcome this by specifying a colour on your symbol
statement, e.q.

proc gplot;
   plot y*x z*x /overlay;

   symbol1 i=join v=none c=black;
   symbol2 i=none v=star c=black;
run;
quit;
