This is an image and piece of history that I had forgotten about until having my memory refreshed by a music video featuring the image of an exploding rocket.

The Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated during re-entry on its 28th mission on 1st February 2003. All seven crew members were killed.

I feel it is iconic because it shows how malfunctions in technology and engineering can have fatal consequences, and the content of the image is very emotive (as are all major disasters shown  ...</description>

The images of the 1984/85 miners strike will forever be synonymous in the UK's history. The miner's wern't fighting for improved conditions or more pay but simply the right to work. The picket line at Orgreave on the 18th June 1984 turned to scenes of mayhem after police started whiping up tension by drumming on their shields and sending in horse mounted officers to beat back unarmed protesters. It is said that the miners threw  ...</description>

This isn't a particularly famous image. I just think that this image could be looked upon as being completely normal and harmless, if we lived in a world without terrorist attacks. The simple denotation of this image is man on tube train with rucksack, but the conotations are endless. This man may be just on his way home with a college bag..or is he planning to detonate a bomb on the tube which is concealed within the bag? </description>

I have chosen the above swimming pool sign to cover the multitude of signs that we see around us with this design format, as it is the one that stands out most from my childhood, although it doesn't include the no heavy petting which we always found highly amusing

			<description>This is an image that has always stuck in my mind. Why? Because the majority of people who say 'Oh thats horrible' or 'Oh thats digusting' are the same people that drape themselves in the remainder of this poor animal.



Fur is murder. it is not 'just fur'. That is what remains of the fluff that lines your coat, and what suprises me how th emajority of people brush over the fact that this is the truth, this is where fur comes from.

i chose Amy Winehouse, not as an iconic figure on society herself, i chose the message this image shows. this image epitomizes the downfall Amy has gone through as she fights her way in and out of rehab. in many cases people look down on her story casting judgments, but all i feel is a sense of pity. the young singer seems to have had her fall from grace 10 times over. she is often pictured on stage looking lost, connoting  ...</description>

An absolutely horrific image of 20th century genocide. Pol Pot wanted to take the Cambodian people back to 'year zero' by creating a peasant society. He orded the murder of educated people and millions of Cambodians accustomed to city life were now forced into slave labor in Pol Pot's &quot;killing fields&quot; where they soon began dying from overwork, malnutrition and disease, on a diet of one tin of rice (180 grams) per  ...</description>

			<dc:creator>Allyyoung</dc:creator>
			<description>



I believe that this image is iconic because of its subtext. On the surface, the juxtaposition of the Saudi women wearing traditional abayas and the iconic Mc Donalds sign clearly presents the clash of two opposing cultures; Capitalist modern day U.S.A and the traditional and stringent customs of Saudi Arabia. However, as a whole, this picture also symbolises the convergence of these two cultures despite their contrasts, therefore, representing the phenomenon of globalisation. </description>

This London Underground advert, called 'Rhythm', marries the iconic image of the River Thames with a microphone. These images together represent and promote London's diverse musical culture; which for me as a young Londoner strikes a particular cord.



The aerial River Thames image - probably popularised in recent decades through Eastenders - is particularly striking to those who live in London and embodies a common unity.

			<description>





The Spiral. A simple, ancient image featured in all things from mathematics, to art, to nature (both of this world and beyond.) What intrigues me about the spiral is its linear sense of eternity. No matter how far one travels towards the within, there is no true bottom, and certainly no end. Asides that, it has metaphorical links with sanity, perhaps suggesting that the mind accelerates in decline.

I think this has got to be one of the most iconic images ever produced by the media. Superman was created way back in the 1930s, and although the symbol looked a little different back then, it has stood the tests of time and is still recognised by nearly everybody today. Whilst provoking fond reactions from fans, even non-fans recognise the icon for what it is - Superman's logo.

I must stress it depends on ones own political opinions. A man who symbolises so much to so many people. Such as hope, change, a better life, a better country, possibly even a better world.



With The United States Of America's media dominance over the majority of the world it is widely considered that if this man gets in to power he will not only be given the opportunity to change the country, but possibly the world.

The shadow of Nosferatu for me is about the power of imagination and the fear of the unknown. It is so simple but brilliant.

<br />
This is the original poster artwork for the docudrama The Road to Guantanamo. For me this image epitomises the controversy that surrounds the detention centre, the US government choose to hold these people in these conditions, however by the very nature of their detention, the US government imply that to do so is wrong. The poster was also banned, which in itself raises new issues...]]></description>

A sign that has seen and increase in use in the UK in the last few years with the introduction of the smoking ban. What I find interesting is that the more popular the sign becomes, the more likely it is to disappear. Will we soon instead see just a few &quot;Smoking Allowed&quot; signs?]]></description>

Illustrates the incredible lengths that some people will go to, to stand up for what they hold dear to them. 



This image always leaves me speechless. I remember i first saw it on one of my dads Massive Attack albums, but as the years have passed its gained so much more meaning. I will never understand how this man managed to stay sat, showing no sign of regret as he died in the most horrific manner possible. What a guy.

			<description>For me, 'Guernica' is one of the most striking images of war I have ever seen.

It seems to capture the essence and the mood of total conflict, using chilling colours and extreme expression.

It's an icon of a land destroyed by war that became lodged in my mind and remained there for months after the first viewing.

An everyday object that an American might carry around all their life without ever really looking at it, but there is actually a lot going on here sybolically.  There's the eagle, with its head pointed towards the olive branch of peace rather than the arrows of war, the stars in the shape of a Star of David above its head, and of course the pyramid opposite.  ...</description>

To start, I find a photo of my dad more important. Yet it would lead to me typing about memories and gradually reaching epiphanies about myself as you read this. So to save me writing into my enlightenment, I decided to share another image, which I think shines a light on our growth as a race.



This is a vague summary of the context I found this image so apologies.



A group of human beings evolved rapidly in Egypt, surpassing the race around them in height, intellect and consciousness.  ...</description>

			<description>This sign i came across outside Asda Lansdowne and been extremely influential in the understanding of gay rights, using partial humour to get a point across. The struggle of gay rights ever since the beginning of the 19th century is growing stronger by the day, and i believe this image is iconically important in assisting this.
