Something that I wear often is my work name badge. It does not say where I work or what I do but one can make an assumption of both of those things based on many external factors. There are commercials, movies, magazines, print, and so much more that give us the ability to make a logical inference on certain things in life. So when someone looks at my name badge and sees the blue striped globe. They can think back in their life to where they’ve seen that before and make a guess on where I work. I used to think of the blue globe of AT&T as “that stupid sign of AT&T”. Now that I work there I see it as a sign of annoyance, but overall good things.

Post 5 | Blue Globe
According to Google, Symbolism is “the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities”. Symbolism is used in everyday life wherever we are. For example, I have a Golden Retriever named Sammy. I have a magnet on the back of my car of a Golden Retriever. If anyone that didn’t know me saw that they would infer that I either have or had a Golden Retriever. Symbolism is used everywhere to give fair assumption to things everywhere.
