The Importance of Symbols

It’s easy to underestimate just how many symbols we come across in our daily life. Take the Olympic rings, for example, or the logo of your favorite sports team—everywhere you look, symbols abound, communicating so much in the span of a few lines and colors.

Why do symbols matter so much?

  • They’re embedded in countless spiritualities and cultures. Pretty much every culture and belief system that ever has or ever will exist has its own set of symbols that have developed throughout history. These symbols are unique to the cultures and beliefs that they originated from, and they offer a rich connection and sense of history to their roots.

Examples of Symbols

  • Religious symbols: Plenty of religions have a well-known symbol that visually encapsulates the belief system:
    • Christianity: A cross
    • Judaism: A six-pointed star
    • Islam: A crescent moon and star
  • Cultural symbols: Lots of symbols can be attributed to specific cultures, like:
    • Egypt: The Eye of Horis
    • China: Loong (Chinese dragon)
  • State symbols: In the United States specifically, each state has a variety of symbols, like a state animal, song, and plant.
    • For example, one of California’s state animals is the California grizzly bear, while one of Texas’s state animal is the Texas longhorn.
