Symbolism is the practice of representing things by symbols, or of investing things with a symbolic meaning or character. A symbol is an object, action, or idea that represents something other than itself, often of a more abstract nature. Symbolism creates quality aspects that make literature like poetry and novels more meaningful. by Gregg Prescott, M.S.
There’s an interesting video by Red Ice Creations entitled, “Symbolism and Logos”. The Starbucks logo is explained at the 2:44 marker:
As you just found out, the Starbucks logo “represents Lilith, the first prototype of a woman, represented as a beautiful woman from the waist up and as a snake from the waist down. Lilith typically symbolized rebellion, rage and an untamed sexual nature. She’s also knows as a Sumerian demon, a seductive succubus, the bride of Satan and Adam’s first wife. Barbie was copied from a German adult doll by the name of Lily. Now young girls today can buy Mermaid Barbie or go see My Little Mermaid. The powerful role that mermaids, goddesses and sirens continue to play in our culture, confirms the depth of their identity in the human experience and the collective unconscious. They embody themes that are always with us, but not often on the surface of our daily experience and perception.
There is a Kurdish proverb that says, “He who wants pearls has to dive into the sea,” and a Russian proverb that says, “Not Why is the Sun one of the most common symbols used in corporate logos and what does it represent?The sun symbol ultimately represents primordial intellect and the manifestation of universal consciousness that transcends time and space. It’s worshipped in literally every culture and is used by a plethora of businesses in their corporate logos. The sun also represents immortality, reincarnation and rebirth. It is known to be a symbol of sexual fertility and brings life to all living things on this planet. The sun was worshipped as a deity in many different cultures: African Mythology: The Munshi tribe considers the Sun to be the son of the supreme being Awondo and the Moon is Awondo's daughter. The Barotse tribe believes that the Sun is inhabited by the sky god Nyambi and the Moon is his wife. Even where the sun god is equated with the supreme being, in some African mythologies he or she does not have any special functions or privileges as compared to other deities. Aztec Mythology: In Aztec mythology, Tonatiuhwas the sun god. The Aztec people considered him the leader of Tollan, heaven. He was also known as the fifth sun, because the Aztecs believed that he was the sun that took over when the fourth sun was expelled from the sky. According to their cosmology, each sun was a god with its own cosmic era. According to the Aztecs, they were still in Tonatiuh's era. According to the Aztec creation myth, the god demanded human sacrifice as tribute and without it would refuse to move through the sky Buddhism: In Buddhist cosmology, the bodhisattva of the Sun is known as Ri Gong Ri Guang Pu Sa. In Sanskrit, He is known as Suryaprabha. Chinese Mythology: In Chinese mythology, there were originally ten suns in the sky, who were all brothers. They were supposed to emerge one at a time as commanded by the Jade Emperor. They were all very young and loved to fool around. Once they decided to all go into the sky to play, all at once. This made the world too hot for anything to grow. A hero named Hou Yi shot down nine of them with a bow and arrow to save the people of the earth. He is still honored this very day. Egypt: Isis, who was Osiris’ sister and wife, conceived Horus, who was known as the Sun God and later on, called Ra. Alternative beliefs say that Ra was there first, but both are known as sun gods in Egypt. Hinduism: The Ādityas are one of the principal deities of the Vedic classical Hinduism belonging to Solar class. In the Vedas, numerous hymns are dedicated to Mitra, Varuna, Savitr etc. Maya: Kinich Ahau, the patron god of the city Itzamal, visited the city at noon every day. He would descend as a macaw and consume prepared offerings. How does one differentiate the meaning between corporatism and the sun’s spiritual essence?When a company, like Shell, uses the sun sign in their corporate logo, they’re trying to relate this symbol to your higher level of consciousness, e.g. the sun represents an all-knowing, benevolent presence; as well as to your subconscious mind, e.g. the sun is pure, the sun brings life, the sun makes me happy, etc… The most obvious representation of the sun is Jesus, the “son/sun” of God and this also plays on the subconscious mind.
