Symbols are tools in visual communication that spread information, ideas and beliefs. This projects explores the power of symbols in visual propaganda by analyzing political logos and flags. Symbols from the far left to the far right, like the red star, hammer and sickle, cogwheel, clenched fist, circle-A, and cross, are examined historically and visually. The research shows how symbols can represent political goals and how their shapes, colors, and contexts shape their meanings.
