Word and image

Image to me paints the picture of shape and form... it give life to idea, or object. The word shows and speaks on what the object cant say so they each need to make the idea work.The image gives the words something to speak about and market, while the words give the image a history name face and value to its representation.

ARH216

Before i saw this  I had no idea that there idea of a symbol could be broken down into this many categories from index, iconography , and other items. Now i know there is a clear differance as despite all being visual art. Most of it to me all came across the same , as symbols we know to relate to a certain item within society. Whats even more surprising when you think about it is that there are signs that were used long before certain companies came around, and yet years down the line you will see the same symbol or something close to it. The uniqueness of this is that the logo can have a completely different ,meaning and idea than how the symbol was used for prior to the company that uses its service today.
