Wing symbols






1) Wings, often associated with birds, represent speed, elevation, freedom and aspiration.


2) Wings associated with angels are spiritual, symbolizing enlightenment, guidance and protection - to be taken under the wing - and inspirational.


3) Wings associated with butterflies, dragonflies, fairies, mythological winged creatures like dragons, griffins, and the winged-horse Pegasus, have an element of the magical about them. As in alchemy and magic, wings can be transformational, allowing an individual access to a previously unattainable state. The presence of wings allows the combination of different elements, earth and sky, wind and fire.

The haft sin


Haft Sîn (هفت سین) or the seven 'S's is a major tradition of Nowruz. The haft sin table includes seven items specific starting with the letter S or Sīn (س) in persian alphabet. The items symbolically correspond to seven creations and holy immortals protecting them. Originally called Haft Chin (هفت چین), the Haft Sin has evolved over time, but has kept its symbolism. Traditionally, families attempt to set as beautiful a Haft Sīn table as they can, as it is not only of traditional and spiritual value, but also noticed by visitors during Nowruzi visitations and is a reflection of their good taste.
The Haft Sin items are:
1)sabzeh - wheat, barley or lentil sprouts growing in a dish - symbolizing rebirth
2)samanu- a sweet pudding made from wheat germ- symbolizing affluence
3)senjed - the dried fruit of the oliester tree - symbolizing love
4)sīr - garlic - symbolizing medicine
5)sīb - apples- symbolizing beauty and health
6)somaq - sumac berries - symbolizing (the color of) sunrise
7)serkeh - vineger - symbolizing age and patience
Other items on the table may include:
Sonbol - hyacint(flower)
Sekkeh - Coins - representative of wealth
traditional Iranian pastries such as baghlava, toot, naan-nokhodchi
dried nuts, berries and raisins (Aajeel)
lit Candles(enlightenment and happiness)

islam symbol



The crescent moon and star symbol actually pre-dates Islam by several thousand years. Information on the origins of the symbol are difficult to ascertain, but most sources agree that these ancient celestial symbols were in use by the peoples of Central Asia and Siberia in their worship of sun, moon, and sky gods. There are also reports that the crescent moon and star were used to represent the Carthaginian goddess Tanit or the Greek goddess Diana.

heart symbol










This sign commonly used to represent the heart has actually been around for thousands of years. Have you ever wondered where it came from? The symbol, it turns out, is actually a combination of other ideograms. It incorporates the symbols for fire/flight (from the middle ages) along with its equivalent counterpart from the open sign structures. The heart symbol also incorporates the symbol which represents togetherness. These symbols can all be seen below.








The heart symbol has a meaning amongst religions as well. Among Christians, it stands for charity and hope. Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Taoists, and Celts see the symbol as having a positive meaning as well. Some signs are commonly associated with the heart symbol. For instance, a heart with an arrow through it represents directed energy, flow, or penetration (a relationship with Cupid, god of love). The combination of the star and heart signs represent happiness or joy.
The heart symbol has so many meanings and has been around for thousands of years, but why has it become such a popular sign? It's popularity most probably stems from the romantic view that early cultures had of the heart. The heart to them was not simply a mechanical pump but the center of all thought and emotion.




The symbol of my character




Each person has many characteristic features. Sometimes some of them are special or unusual. We can show each of these features by using the symbols that are related to them. Most of the characteristic features has their own symbol but for some of the special ones that you can’t find any famous symbol, you can make it by your own idea But it should made thoughtfully and be clear enough to show the feature as well as possible.
I decide to describe each feature separately and choose a symbol for that and at the end
Combine all of them with each other in a single shape and present it as a logo.
