Crayon Rubbing Symbol

-The symbol I used here is the Arizona Western College symbol

-This type of symbol would be a symbolic one since you have to learn that it represents the college.
-The meaning of this symbol is the college that is located in the foothills, that is why it looks like two mountains that are actually an A and a W. Or the A could represent a stylized tear drop for all the college students that get Fs.
