I've just seen a Chinese movie last night called The Promise and I was impressed on how differently asian cultures appreciate and use symbols. Everything was allegorical. There were lots of colors, music, flying and blossomed cherry trees. Lots of red, speed and fighting for honor and love in a totally different way from something that you'd see in a western culture movie. If you think about it, a logo design has to be allegorical sometimes, a melange of symbols and colors, but the interesting fact is how these symbols are interpreted so differently in different cultures.
