'''Symbols''' were just as important in [[medieval]] society as logos and trademarks are today. They came in many different forms:

* '''[[Religion|Religious]]:''' e.g. Apostle John the [[lion]], [[Sir Gawain]] and the [[pentagram]].
* '''Business:''' the [[trademark]]s or personal signs of a craftsman, objects used to indicate skill in a certain craft.
* '''[[Heraldry]]:''' the [[device]]s and [[badge]]s of [[nobility]] and those allied with them.

Symbols were commonly used in a metaphorical sense to associate virtues or characteristics with a certain symbol or item. For instance, [[peacock]]s might have been considered to exemplify vanity, so a haughty [[noble]] may be called a peacock.
