Revolutionary symbols

This picture was discussed during our lecture, I found this album cover interesting although i’m not sure the symbol of the cap has changed all that much as there is still a sense of triumph and revolutionary spirit although it is modernised through the thick bold text.

This album cover, uses the symbol we discussed in our lecture. I thought
this was an interesting punk type adaptation of the symbol. Through its
design I feel it loses a lot of its meaning and isn’t used tactfully.


The Nazi symbol resembles the Buddhist symbol for resignation. With knowledge of WWII the ancient symbol which came about long before the swastika has now changed the meaning of the buddhist symbol.

Road Signs

I had a lot of fun doing this exercise, I chose the
theme clothing.

Lucky Omen

The horse shoe is used as a lucky omen, stemming
from Pagan beliefs. It must be kept the right way up
or the luck will “pour out”.

Humpty Dumpty

Group Logo - Duel Thought

This is our groups logo. Our word we played with
was 'challenge'. The chess piece reflects our aim to
challenge the publics thoughts and knowledge and
this is also reflected by the two faces found in the
negative space outside the chess piece. I am very
happy with our groups effort and our logos outcome.
