5 Symbols


These photos are all of symbols that relate to my site. The first four photos are pictures of the website itself. 

The first picture is not only the opening to the site, but the updated blink-182 logo. The original smiley face has only 5 arrows and was typically white or black. Each arrow represents the number of studio albums the band has released. The sixth arrow that is not presented, represents blink's new album that has been in the works for the past three years... This smiley face is the band's logo and emblem. Every fan knows this face and often tattoos it on their bodies. The original blink-182 logo was the retarded bunny that is the last picture.

This second photo is of a fansite for blink-182. More than a fansite, it is a news site. This is one of the most popular sites for blink fans to find any news on the band. And being one of the many blink-182 nerds, I know this site very well and check it quite often.


This picture is of the forum itself. Symbolic in the sense that this is where everything happens. This represents the community, these topics, these boundaries and design.

 Original smiley face logo, five arrows, representing 5 studio albums. This is the symbol of the band.
 Old school blink symbol. Represented the band and the bizarre, punk-rock, suburban kid culture that they are the godfathers of.
