The Meaning Of My Symbol

This is the Symbol that represents the area of my choice,Melting of Ice-Caps (one of the effects of Global Warming).

My title for this Symbol is "Save Me From Melting,Means You Save The World".


Firstly,I have used metaphor on my Symbol.As you can see,the Ice-caps inside my Symbol seems to have emotions like human beings and it can feel what is happening in its surroundings. Global Warming causes the Ice-caps to undergo melting process.Hence,I drew an Ice-caps with a pitiful face and make it looks like it is suffering much, much pain. Just imagine when someone uses fire to heat your skin, you will also feel the pain right?Well, this is what I mean.

Besides that, I have also added four Ice hands with four lines just to represent the motion of the Ice-Caps in my Symbol. This indicates that the Ice-caps is shivering.

The big circle surrounding the Ice-caps represents ozone layer and the grey structure at the center, upper side of the circle is the hole of the ozone layer.

The bottom part of the Ice-caps represents the many Ice-caps in the ocean are also melting because the temperature of the water is rising. It shows that when the ozone layer is completely destroyed, the temperature of the surrounding will increase tremendously.The Ice-caps is exposed to heat and is no longer protected by the ozone layer. It will undergo an extremely melting process and caused the rapid rising of sea level until the remaining Ice-caps will be submerged into the sea.

The outer part of the big circle(ozone layer) is surrounded with flames.This indicates that the ozone layer is in a state that is very alarming and the surrounding temperature inside the ozone layer is continuously increasing.

The Meaning of Colour in the Symbol

Red, Orange and Yellow- A Fiery Hot Combination

Red- Is hot. Denotes very dangerous and bring destruction.

Orange- Is vibrant. It denotes energy,warmth and its like the sun. Used to demand attention,such as people should be aware that the global warming is getting more and more serious.

Yellow- Is a warm colour similar to red, has conflicting symbollism.Because of it high visibility, it is suitable to use as warning sign. Also mean danger although not quite as dangerous as red. Represents still have hope for human beings to stop global warming.

Grey- Is a neutral,balanced colour.It is cool and has less negative attributes compared to black but is still considered a moody type of dark colour. It can be used to represent destruction is happening.

White-Is the nature colour of Ice. Symbolise clean and pure innocence. White colour ice cap mean it is still very cold, has not been affected by global warming and there is still a hope to stop the global warming.

Blue- 1) Light blue- Nature colour of air and sky. Is a cool colour.Is suitable tone colour for melting ice cap and ozone layer. Represents Ice melt is melting.

2) Dark blue- Is a colder weather colour. Natural colour of water( suitable colour for ocean).On the symbol, it represents the Ice caps had melt tremendously because the depth of the ocean has increased.

The Shape in my Symbol

Overall meaning of the Symbol

The Ozone layer is protecting the Ice-caps from melting. But because of Global Warming, this has resulted in the ozone layer becoming thinner and thinner; and eventually breaks into a hole. When there is a hole on the ozone layer, the dangerous heat wave from the Sun is directly sent to the Earth. At the same time, Greenhouse gases inside the Ozone layer trapped the heat inside the Earth. This causes the temperature on Earth to increase. Simultaneously, the Ice-caps will start to melt because of the climate changes on the Earth.

I hope that after the general public has seen my Symbol, they will realise and be aware of the dangers and effects of Global Warming. People will then start to play a part in taking of care our nature and environment from the destructions of Global Warming; for the sake of Mother Earth and her future generation.
