SEMIOTICS: The Science of signs that is broken down in three main categories; iconic, indexical, symbolic.
The symbols displayed in this crayon rubbing are the AWC logo and the men's restroom sign. The AWC logo is iconic and indexical. It is indexical because the mountains suggest that it is near mountains or that mountains can be seen from the campus. It is also iconic because it is representing the landscape of Yuma, AZ.
The men's restroom sign is symbolic because t does not represent what we do in the restroom but rather indicates where each gender should go which could mean that it is also indexical.
