Icon Analysis
The icons I have chosen for this assignment are Elmo: The adorable furry puppet from Sesame Street who for many years has brought joy to many children around the world with loveable song and dance. Michael Jackson: Well this image reflects his status at the time “King of Pop”, and Disney World: When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires will come to you.
I chose these three icons because each of them has represented what I have considered to be an icon. Even though Elmo is a character he represents the kid in all of us and to small children he can be looked at as a larger than life symbol to them. Michael Jackson during the years has been a legend in pop music. His songs today still bring about a moment in time and captured his status as a legendary figure in the music world today. And Disney World, I can remember the time I stepped foot in the magical kingdom and it simply took my breath away. I became a child once again.
These icons represent to me a time in place of happy times, childhood memories and dreams coming true.

I love that you chose Elmo as one of your icons. I remember watching Sesame Street everyday after kindergarten. And then when I was older the Tickle-Me-Elmo came out and it was huge. It really brings back memories. Great choice, I never would have thought of that.
I used to watch Sesame Street all the time, although my favorite was cookie monster. I like that you choose a place, Disney World, I didn't even think about that, good thinking. I went to Disney World once, it was one of the best vacations I've had. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.
I watched Sesame Street as a kid. I loved Ernie. I like how you chose icons that could make us all remember being a kid. I've never been to Disney World so I don't know what that is like. I love listening to Michael Jackson's music.
I to love Elmo and used to watch Sesame Street as a child. Some of the Elmo toys they have recently came out with are so adorable. I have been to Disney World one time when I was younger and absolutely loved it.
