SIGN AND SYMBOLS
What's the Difference?

Sign and symbol are both forms of communication that convey meaning. However, there are some key
differences between the two. A sign is a direct representation of something, often with a clear and universally
understood meaning. For example, a red traffic light is a sign that indicates to drivers to stop. On the other hand,
a symbol is more abstract and can have multiple interpretations depending on the context and culture. Symbols
often carry deeper meanings and can evoke emotions or represent complex ideas. For instance, a dove is a
symbol of peace and freedom. While signs are more straightforward and literal, symbols have a richer and more
subjective nature.
