[Yr11 Information Technology] The importance of colour in logos

[Mark]

Nice work, Darren.

A century or two back the colour pink used to be associated with boys, and
blue with girls.
Pink was thought to be too strong a colour for weak females.
The 180-degree spin in meaning shows how culture is so important in the
interpretation of symbols.

Also, the colours of wedding dresses in different cultures means very
different things.

Regards,
Mark

P.S. It's interesting to note that NPH gets to be masculinity personified !
