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.

I agree with you. It is a lot more into sign and symbol that I did not realize even though I create logos all the time but never critically thought about a logo being a sign and/or a symbol to something else we already know. You should relate to some of what you understand about sign and symbol to an image, such a logo or a signage, etc. Also, refer back to your readings as well.
