  1. Hi Anna,

    I was just reading the definition of symbol and thought this was interesting in terms of the intangible

    something used for or regarded as representing something else; a material object representing something, often something immaterial; emblem, token, or sign.

    Could the symbol in-fact be the tangible that represents the intangible?

    The list is great What would be in the list of the least prominent identifiers of clothing?
