the Takeover.~ Part 2


Another which I have started to notice, particularly in the entertainment layout, is the continued projection of "symbols" coming out in the open. One instance, well two actually, but firstly that of Transformers, where these so-claimed "alien symbols" have shown up throughout history, which were disclosed, and kept "top Secret" from the general public, yet, consistently projected onto the fabric of time through architecture & 'landmarks" of old.

We also see this same fascination in "conspiracy"-type movies, such as those relating to so-called "secret societies", private organizations & companies, and even Government.

I think it's Hilarious the way that some people see Symbols as "evil".
Look at society at large; the very world we dwell in. At every minute of everyday, we are presented, and even, surrounded by "symbols" which stand for a collage of countless amounts of information which can be conveyed in one, small, intricately designed Picture.

A picture's worth a thousand words.

Companies have Logo's which are a "Symbol"ic representation of themselves.
Do we need to see the word "McDonald's" to know those 2 large golden-arches in the shape of a giant 'M' represent the fast-food chain we have all grown up on?
Do we need the Chinese-characters of "Yin Yang" to know that a circle which is black & white comma-shaped division, with a Dot of opposite-colour on each means such?
Do shoes need the word NIKE for you to understand that the word-renown "checkmark" sign means.
I personally say No, we do not.

Symbols of condensed forms of information, presented in a way that can convey entire histories in one (usually) small compressed form.
Look at the world-famous Lips&Tongue of the Rolling Stones, the sight of which, (if you are familiar) will bring up the band, their achievements, their history, their decades of ground-breaking, record making (literally), monumental career as performers & rockers who are teachers of generation after generation to this day.

We live in a fast-paced society, that needs the quickest, most concise way of relaying the insane amount of information we have gathered on a day to day basis.
Everyday new things are discovered, combined, destroyed, and upgraded, and we the people, need a Tag/sticker to place upon it "lest we forget".
Our memories are only so large, and without the removal of (so said() 'Useless' information, we really have no other choice but to Condense that which we already have, take a Pretty-picture, and then Burn the dear grandma's ancient, worthless rocking-chair, even though it may hold some sentimental "worth", still, who can deny Ugliest hold no ground when up against the new & beautiful (a delightful 50" Plasma TV for instance).

Don't fear "unknown symbols", or you will be like an uneducated toddler being scared of clowns or Santa Claus.
