The final symbol

Well after explaining the steps that have been used and tools I present to you my final symbol.



Title of symbol: Greening fridge

Meaning of the symbol: The main meaning or the message in this symbol is to alert people about the effects of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) that will harm the environment.

Metaphor: CFC gasses that are released by the fridge are the causes for green house gasses

Meaning of the shape of the symbol: The two leaves represents greening for the environment, the white box represents the fridge, the circle behind this two shapes represents the globe.

Meaning of the colour of the symbol: Green obviously represents nature and means that we need to promote greening around the world in order to put a stop to global warming. A gradient is applied to show that there is still hope if we start to realize our mistakes and start the whole go green campaign.

Relation to the area of global warming of my choice: I choose the pollution part of global warming, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) is indeed falls under this category and other factors that contribute to pollution are such as Carbon Monoxide (CO) that our vehicles emits. The other factors are such as factory smoke, many factories in Malaysia are not following the standard environment rules and regulations. Open burning that are openly done is also another culprit the burning of used tires releases thick black smoke and these gasses are so toxic that it can instantly kill a person when its inhaled in a large quantity. In a nutshell I personally think that pollution is the greatest threat to the overall global warming issue.
