Week 2 - Symbol Style - Group Identifiers

My task this week was to collect images of identifiers that label a group through the use of a symbol.

Symbols have been used through out history as a simple way for others to identify a particular group of people. For example, a compass and set square has been used as a symbol for the Freemasons for centuries.

I collected up a range of symbols that identifies some well know and some less known groups. Here's what i came up with:


Pentagram - Satanists


Swastika - Nazis


Pitchfork - MS13 (Mexican Gang)



BDSM (Bondage culture)


Peace Symbol - Hippies
