Indeed, a once-exotic symbol has become so matter of fact that life gets in the way of art.

In the 60's, jeans became a symbol of social rebellion.

With the Emperor lying seriously ill, such symbols have become even more important.

During the 1980's, an art collection became the symbol that separated the in-vogue law firms from the unhip ones.

Now this symbol has become popular and widely used as artistic symbols in the pop culture of the Philippines.

This symbol has since become associated with the entire franchise.
