1) Duck Dynasty is a booming television series of a family that believes in faith, family, and hunting. I chose this icon because I see their memorabilia everywhere! Beards are everywhere! They stand for things that most Christians, such as myself would. I believe they have helped curve our culture toward family related entertainment. I've noticed that there have been more Christ based and family movies and series hit the media and entertainment world. This is important to me, because of course, being a Christian - you are proud of any positive influence in the world.
2) I chose super heroes in general, because there have been so many remake of movies here lately! And so much memorabilia. You see their symbols everywhere and just instantly know what they mean! I have a daughter who is obsessed with super heroes. You would think she is a boy. But, as she has entered Kindergarten, I have realized that this is a huge fad. All kids love the variety of superheros. There are all kinds of toys and matching apparel worn by girls and boys. You will see home decor and plaques of super hero symbols, even for adults. This is important to me, because it is a huge part of my daughter's imagination.
3) The Hashtag symbol....need I say more!? I see so many posts on social media with hashtags for everything. It's a great way to organize thoughts, organizations, and things in common. I see this symbol printed on t-shirts, on billboards, adds that say hastag this or hashtag that. I not only use this personally, but the company that I work for, has created a shirt that says #GodIsGreater. So, the effects not just posting something, but organizing it into a hashtag, brings the post into a whole other world of relevant items.
Great choice of icons Meagan! I also chose a superhero as one of my icons. Most of these characters have been around for so long but still evolve overtime making them appealing to many different audiences such as your daughter. Also you mentioned the memorabilia which is a huge part of the whole concept. Anywhere you go you can find action figures or clothing with superheros now. Great choice and good post.
ReplyDeleteHi Meagan! I just had to come check out your post! I enjoy your writing very much. I am so glad you chose the Hashtag symbol. I am a little out of the loop on some aspects of popular culture and though I have not used Twitter yet, I know what the Hashtag is! Great Job!
