Iconic Sign
Pictures with images of a TV, a Phone, and Radio these are all examples of what they all look like an object.

Symbolic Sign
A symbolic sign is when you can see the colour black and everyone agrees with it, it also links to how you can see the letter M or S etc, also like a shape as in I can see a square and others agree too.

Semiotics – the study of signs
C S Pierce, an American philosopher, logician, mathematician and scientist, divided signs into three distinct categories:
An Iconic Sign: (a sign that looks like its object) the newspaper, the television, the radio
An Indexical Sign: (a sign that has a link to its object) the word ‘Media’, the words ‘DAILY NEWS’, the Facebook ‘F’
A Symbolic Sign: (a sign that has an arbitrary or random link to its object) YouTube logo, Instagram logo, Snapchat logo

Iconic signs: the sky looks like the sky, the sign post looks like a sign post, the clouds look like clouds
Indexical signs: social media logos are linked to the idea of new media, the pastel colours are linked to happiness, the font style is linked to being fancy
symbolic signs: the word ‘media’ has been decided as society to link, the green curvy box thing, and the facebook logo we have decided this is what we will recognise the app by.
