Visual Literacy: Sakis and Eva 08/10

On Tuesday, our lecture with Sakis and Eva taught us how one image can hold a range of meanings. It was interesting to see how some of the most famous logos are seen differently by different people. For example, the Mont Blanc Logo came under fire for seeming akin to the Star of David. 

8 random groups were arranged to put research into the following logos above. My group was tasked with researching and presenting our work on the history of the NBC logo and its representations. Some of our group took to the streets to the public to ask what the logo meant to them. The general consensus was that the peacock and colours represented pride and confidence. I enjoyed hearing the feedback from the public as it gave us insight into its portrayal without any research involved.
