MEANING

The meaning behind my symbol:
Name: HOT ICE CREAM.


I bet each of us have eaten ice cream AT LEAST once before. Even if you're not a big fan of ice cream, you would have tasted one before. How can an ice cream be hot? How can ICE be hot? Even fried ice cream, you can still feel the coldness of the ice cream. Creating an oxymoron here.hehe. How can hot be cold? how can cold be hot?hehee.. still with me? Just to make you think a little.

The ice cream is actually a metaphor to represent "WEATHER CHANGES". My area of awareness. Ice cream is meant to be cold and icy. This ice cream looks like it's glowing. Looks like it's hot. It looks like there is heat present.
Thus, this is a representation of "WEATHER CHANGE".

The weather has been irregular. Weathers around the globe are varying. We've seen snow in summer. Snow melting away during winter due to excessive heat from the sun. Unpredictable tropical weathers, where sometimes the sun is shining brightly and a few minutes later, it starts to pour. Sometimes it's hot and shopping complexes will be flooded with people and cars. Sometimes it rains heavily that we see cars flooded by rain water.

The cone consists of curvy shapes. It not only represents how ice cream looks like on a cone. BUT,
The curves show unsteadiness. It represents the unstable weather we are facing now due to global warming. The straight lines of the cones represents steadiness, where if there is no global warming, we will have stable weather. The 'X' sign in the middle of the cone represents disagreement. It is to show the dissatisfaction towards global warming. I will explain the two triangles later.

Moving on, the colours. The ice cream,consisting of the combinations of yellow,orange and red, represents, the sun. Basically, it's to show the heat and the feeling of 'hot'. Where the ice cream is suppose to be cooling, yet it's hot. The cone, using the gradient effect, I use the combination of green and blue. It's to represent the earth. It's to show that global warming is happening globally. It is not only happening in Malaysia, but other places too. Thus, the two triangles. It is now a blur whether we have 6 or 7 continents. Based on the website, http://geography.about.com/od/learnabouttheearth/qt/qzcontinents.htm, It varies. I'm gonna take it that we have 6 continents. The 6 points of the triangles are to represent the 6 continents. The two triangle meet in the center point.
What I'm trying to point out is that, we should ALL unite to stop global warming. Hence, the purple, used to colour both the triangle. I view purple as the colour of UNITY and VICTORY.

When unity is achieved among all the people of this earth, VICTORY is definite.


VICTORY, the end of global warming.

So, we should all unite to make sure that the earth will not be destroyed any further. It is our actions that matter most now. What are we going to do to stop global warming? When are we going to take action? When are we going to put an end to all this? How long more do you want the earth to suffer? How long more does it take for us to realize our mistakes?
TAKE TIME TO REALIZE.
