Urban Signs and Symbols

LITERAL: This is a (possible joke) sign that indicates that there will be wombats. ABSTRACT: As signs like these are usually warnings, the joke may be that wombats are not particularly dangerous. FEELINGS: I feel that there's a strong chance that this was put up as a joke, but there is also always the chance that it is serious. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: Depending on where this sign was put up (I don't actually know IF it was) it can be applicable to real life as there may well be wombats coming up.
 LITERAL: This sign shows that there are diggers working up ahead. ABSTRACT: A hidden meaning could be that, because of the red of the outline of the triangle, that it is in fact another danger sign. FEELINGS: I feel that this sign may be helpful. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: This sign would likely be found in an urban area; on (the side of) a road somewhere in front of road workers.
 LITERAL: Another sign, this time the fairly recognisable stop sign. ABSTRACT: Once more, the red (being a hot colour and often linked to anger; danger etc) could be a signal to warn people away. FEELINGS: I would find this one helpful too, as it could avert a person from going the wrong way. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: I would think that these stop signs were very uncommonly seen, if at all, before the invention and widespread use of cars as transport, therefore they are a fairly recent sign.
LITRAL: This is a detailed graffiti of Batman. ABSTRACT: The fact that this is graffiti means it isn't supposed to be here, perhaps linking to what the image here is. FEELINGS: I am interested with this piece as it is very well-done and must have taken some time for planning and to produce. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: Being graffiti, this would likely be placed in an area where it will be seen by many people, be that a town centre, train station wall, etc.
LITERAL: Another road sign, this time to warn people of bears, for the humans' and the bears' safety. ABSTRACT: Yellow is often used for hazard symbols, and it is used here, so piecing two and two together would suggest that the bears are a hazard. FEELINGS: This makes me feel as if the bears cannot look out for themselves, that these signs, created by humans, are needed to keep them safe. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: This would only be seen in an area which has many bears in it.
LITERAL: Another graffiti, this one is of what looks like a lizard or dinosaur or something. ABSTRACT: This one is particularly large and was probably done to be seen by many more people or to be controversial for the fact that it is so large. FEELINGS: I do not know what this particular piece's meaning is, therefore I feel confused at why it is there. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: It looks as if this was put on a big building which has many countries' support, as is evident by the flags.
