Symbol Design - 3rd Part

Yo! After considering on the most suitable symbol for the assignment, I have finally chosen the 5th symbol (refer to Symbol Design - 2nd Part). I spent several days working on the CS2 before completing the symbol.
This is how the symbol look like upon completion.
The features:
There are several features in this symbol.
  1. The tree with one leaf on the top.
  2. The grey sphere of gas.
  3. The flame at the bottom.
Colors:
  • Green and brown tree - shows the forest and natures in the world. Depicts the natural appearance of Mother Nature.
  • Red and orange flame - are the forest fires caused by global warming. Flame can also represent destruction.
  • Grey sphere - the greenhouse gases that causes global warming. Its grey color shows the negative effects brought upon the world.

Arrangement:

  • The flame at the bottom shows how forests fires destroy forests from the bottom. After all, forest fires start from the ground.
  • The layer of greenhouse gas encircle the flame at the bottom and the base of the tree shows the amount of influence this gas has on the world. It is colored grey due to the fact that the world's atmosphere is worsening.
  • The tree with one leaf emphasize on the condition of forests and natures around the world. The tree is standing tall because it is struggling to survive. As for the leaf, it shows how the forest and natures are dying despite the effort to survive.
That's as far as I can elaborate in this post. Hope it lightens up your understanding about the devastating effects of global warming and forest fires.
Over all, this symbol show the people the condition of the nature and make them aware of the need for us to prevent further global warming and preserve the nature as much as we can.
