Helios and "Sun Symbol".

Trying to make a new looking for “Sun” is what all I and all my classmates are required to do in the first week as a little art-brainstorming homework.


First of all, let have a look at some pictures about Sun in people mind.

The Sun Icon.

The Winged Eyes.










The Solar Cross.







The Zia Symbol.





Four simple pictures above just give out the general look about the sun. Each of them takes one features inside and outside of the sun and then,desribe it on the simpliest way.

To me,the light of Power when seeing the sun is the most interesting.So,in my graphic symbol,I make the strong light around the sun.

After searching the homework "Sun Symbol", i got some information about Helios-the Titan god of Sun.In fact, he is the status for the beauty and power which are also two main elements should be included in a "Sun symbol".

If you use the key word "Helios" for searching any image about this God,you can recoginize that he always used four hourses with wings as his transportation.

Based on this fiction, i want my "Sun symbol" is curved by 2 wings,one is above from right to left and the other one make the opposite.
