Philosophy symbols

Philosophy symbols, not exactly to do with philosophy but mainly a sense of a message they produce, for example in these symbols im showing here the shield gives off a sense of protection and security.
Or in the Mini logo the wings, a sense of freedom and speed, versatility.

my Robus

So this was my robus, incase you didnt get it it reads "I hate Bieber". This refers to Justin Bieber which is a true fact about myself, i hate the kid. Originally i did 2 others, the first one was a zombie one which read "zombie ate you" and another which read "i negate you" but i prefer to show this one as its easier to read than the others. The problem i was having with the others is with the "you" part which i used a picture of a female sheep which in English is named a "ewe", people kept reading it as "sheep" which i expected was going to happen.

Pikachu Road Signs

Signs for our little yellow pokemon friend

Cause symbol, paper boats

So this was my initial idea for our cause symbol, but we as a group worked on our symbol together, we decided to go with the idea of a paper boat and got it done with in one class. Here was our final result which was overall Aurora's Design:
We now have this on T-shirts too :)

Revolutionary symbols

Again with the "all seeing eye". I would say the Illuminati
symbol is a revolutionary symbol considering their
whole purpose is for a " New world order"
The Smurf hat, used in the French revolution to distinguish
between who was for the cause and who was not. viva la revolution
The recogniseable communist symbol, widely recognised in Russia.
A different approach, but revolutionary none the less, i included this symbol as Apple is revolutionary 
in the technoogical world, recognised all over.
The rattle snake. Used as the symbol in the American revolution.



Tribal symbol

My Tribal symbol

And here is Aurora's which we decided to use, we called ourselves Equilibrium because 
we all shared a common interest in balance, and things that contain balance.

So here we have an ancient peace symbol thats meaning was changed and is now recognised as a "evil" symbol across the world.

The crucifix, once a symbol that was feared as it was a cruel means of punishment...now one of the most recognised symbols all over the world that represents Christianity.
Again the pentagram, only till a few hundred years ago did Satanics start using this symbol for their religion, it used to be a holy symbol before that.
The skull and crossbones, usually asscoiated with poison and danger, this symbol has many different meanings over the years including pirates!, but usually it is always associated with danger.


ROCK ONNNN \m/>.<"
this symbol is actually a symbol for the devil, but now is commonly used as a 
"rock on" expression.

Manipulation Tactics.

So after the class on Manipulation It got me thinking, so people really can manipulate others into what they want to them to do. I tried a few experiments with the psychological aspect of this exercise...By staring at a wall when i was out with friends...they came and stared too...was rather wierd. It got me thinking though, i actually physically manipulate the human body to my will 3 times at a week at hapkido...but thats a whole different thing haha...i want to try more of this in the future....the tactics Nigel taught us to use against those people that just hand out flyers on the street i have already found useful.

symbols that create superstition or belief from different cultures.

The Illuminati, are they real? are they controlling everything? does this eye really represent the all seeing secret society?

the satanic symbol which can also be a holy symbol if tilted slightly.

the oriental symbol for balance between good and evil, light and dark.

The Iconic Irish four leaf clover, does this really bring good luck? i personally dont think so considering iv found many and never gotten luck from it :(
Are these really bad luck? again personally i dont think so...i love cats.

Symbols research, soooo many! T__T

so since i have a long train ride home each and every day :(!, i have been keeping an eye out for different symbols, off and on the train. Most of the symbols i look at dont really appeal to me at all because they are boring, but nether the less i can tell what they are instantly. For example, directional and notifcation symbols on the train like "no smoking" or "cameras watching" and even "stairway". One symbol though i see all the time and i do like is the symbol for the world Hap Ki Do federation.
