Rust; Creating Symbols

I had a lot of fun with this activity. I think I'll keep this exercise in my idea book, in case I ever get lost in my own conceptions about the world.  I really like the arbitrary symbol I created. At first, the symbol was a repeat of the same angle (as all the other symbols are), but after writing the Definition, I realized the angle does not allude to the object being 'four-wheeled'. So I changed the angle with which the Arbitrary symbol was viewed. I also got a nice outline of the main boot to denote depth between the boot and the wheels (an idea mentioned in the Noun Project article by Jon Hicks (link is in Module 5)).

I used a combination of Inkscape, Pixlr Editor, and Mac Preview to create each symbol. 

The photograph is my own.

I was not sure if we had to draw all the pictures ourselves or not, but after seeing other posts I decided to use images I found online.  I chose a police badge to honor my friend who was murdered this week.  I know some of the images are not all the same size and aligned, but feel that this is the best I could come up with at this time.  I do think I have an understanding of what Ralph Wileman was trying to convey with this exercise.  I never really thought too much much about the differences between the various types of concept symbols and this gave me a new understanding of how different visuals can be and what they can convey.  I think in the right context concept really works to let the mind make its own interpretation.
