Learning about symbols
Ideogram
This ideogram is one we see A LOT. It take two very classic images of food and drink and puts a giant no no sign on top of it. Red usually represents danger and the line going through an image usually means DON'T. This is a classic example of "Please don't do this."
I like this logogram because of the simple design in the character. This is the Chinese symbol for horse. They took very simple lines and brush strokes to make the symbol of a horse.
We see this pictogram often in science class and on tv. We know automatically that this symbol means it is toxic. The skull and crossbones has represented danger for hundreds of years.
