Icon Analysis
The three icons I chose were Marilyn Monroe, Bugs Bunny, and Batman. These icons have been a part of popular culture for many years. Bugs Bunny first appeared in a cartoon titled A Wild Hare in 1940. Batman appeared in a comic named Detective Comics #27 in 1939. Marilyn Monroe hit the movie scene in 1947 with a small part in a movie titled The Shocking Miss Pilgrim.
I chose these icons because of their renowned popularity. If you were to mention any of these names in conversation almost everyone you spoke to would know something about them. They shaped popular culture in such a way that even today their names are relevant. This is something that most popular culture cannot boast. Because of this, I believe they are relevant, and appropriate icons to analyze.
These icons mean a lot to me personally. I grew up watching Bugs Bunny, and reading Batman comics. Marilyn Monroe was an inspiration in my childhood. I admired her classic beauty, and her timeless personality. Even today I enjoy seeing pictures of her, and researching about her life. These icons are important to me, even though they were created far before my time. This fact just proves that these icons timeless, and their popularity will extend through many more generations to come.

Oh man I forgot all about bugs bunny!! I have all the classic loony tunes DVD's! I let my kids watch them so they can see what dad grew up with.
ReplyDeleteThese are some wonderful Icon choices there is so much Disney out there now Loony Tunes is sometimes overlooked. They don't make cartoons like they use to and at my age I still watch them. Batman is one of my favorites I love all the movies. I can't wait to see Batman vs Superman. All of these icons are important to popular culture to me the are the staples of history thanks for spotlighting them.
ReplyDeleteI really relate to the bugs bunny icon. The image even brings me back to my childhood. A reminder of when life was simple. Bugs bunny and his mischievous friends reminds me of the thrill of waking up to Saturday morning cartoons.
