You just gotta be creative:

HTML:

<div id="circle">
    <div id="cover"></div>        
    <div id="innerCircle">     
        <div id="rect1"></div>
        <div id="rect2"></div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

   #circle { 
       width: 140px;
       height: 140px;
       background: red; 
       -moz-border-radius: 70px; 
       -webkit-border-radius: 70px; 
       border-radius: 70px;
        margin: 0 auto;
        position: relative;
        top: -50px;
    }

    #innerCircle { 
       width: 90px;
       height: 90px;
       background: white; 
       -moz-border-radius: 70px; 
       -webkit-border-radius: 70px; 
       border-radius: 70px;
        position: absolute;
        top: 25px;
        right: 25px;
    }

    #rect1 {
        width: 20px; 
       height: 90px; 
       background: white;
    transform: rotate(30deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(30deg); /* IE 9 */
    -webkit-transform: rotate(30deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
        position: absolute;
        top: 50%;
        left: 5px;
    }

    #rect2 {
       width: 20px; 
       height: 90px; 
       background: white;
    transform: rotate(-30deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(-30deg); /* IE 9 */
    -webkit-transform: rotate(-30deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
        position: absolute;
        top: 50%;
        right: 5px;
    }

    #cover {
       width: 150px; 
       height: 80px; 
       background: white;
        position: absolute;
        top: 0px;
        left: 0px;
    }

Or you can do something like this, curving the sides and using CSS3 rotate features to get the three shapes:

You will probably have to use HTML5 canvas to achieve the exact complex shapes you're requesting:
