My symbol


This is my symbol before Illustrator. I used the idea of a ring because it's a small thing that people take for granted, but it always has a lot of power attached to it, usually to break or make relationships. In the ring, at first glance seems like all the vital organs of a human body. That was the effect i hoped to achieve, because without the vital organs you can't live. Without the necessary elements, earth will not survive. If you come closer, you will notice that it is a cross between a flower, a wilted rose and a heart. The flower is closer to the fire and the wilted rose is closer to the water. I wanted to show that both effects are used by Global warming to destroy our world, but can be used to counter and build our world - if used in the right way. The wilted rose is seen drowning in the water and the flower is seen oozing "life" (land) out of it, due to the fire. The fire is green because the space under it and above the water (the abstract) represents earth and the lighter the green, the worse our world is becoming. I want to show thru the flower that the earth is the heart of all living things and not just humans, but unknowingly we humans have a power that is helping to destroy it, instead of building it.
