Symbolism

Badge

The red triangle repeats the symbolism of mother and woman. The snake and the triangle resting upon a white poppy complete the three basic geometric shapes: circle, triangle and square. The snake is symbolic of knowledge, cunning and change, as expressed in Celtic mythology. Its green colour is a reference to the colour of Ms. Atkinson’s eyes.
