This design is multifaceted, encapsulating the theme of ‘Judicious and Ethical Action’ in many ways. The simplified light bulb container symbolises positive action, progression, invention and forward thinking. Extending upon this, the hand holding the light bulb—created using negative space—alludes to ideas of activismand conscious judgement; humans seeking to promote positive, ethical action are leaders, who ‘hold the torch’ and guide the way toward constructive change. Additionally, following the curve of the abstract glass reflection, a set of scales is included to didactically convey the concept of judicious and ethical action. Collectively, the elements of the design unite to create a visually interesting, thought-provoking and balanced icon. — Audrey Lusk (11E)
