Athough these are all modern day signs, symbols were used across Africa to tell stories and provide information and reminders, many are considered sacred, and were primarily used in ceremonial and religious contexts. Most were designed to communicate and remind those seeing them of concepts in their world.

An example of an old symbol is the 'Denkyem' (crocodile) representing adaptability. Just like the crocodile who lives in the water, and yet breathes air, this ancient symbol is an example of adaptation to two different environments.
