In the media, there is an increasing trend for any well-known manifestation of popular culture to be described as "iconic".
Icons and persons
Human beings can acquire the status of cultural icons through their actions, achievements, role, beliefs, convictions.
Icons and brands
Brands can reflect societal values and changes, but many people have become weary of them. Many brands aspire to become cultural icons, but fail. Cultural icons are often timeless, imprinted in our consciousness. They can go through several stages, from "rumblings, undercurrents" via "catharsis, explosion" and "mass acceptance, ripple effect" to "glorification, representative value". While brands are rational and driven by features, cultural icons are emotional, free, driven by feeling, and creating emotional bonds..
Cultural icons worldwide
Cultural icons may be national, regional or related to a city. In addition, they can be symbols for a nation, or can evoke particular values held by that state. For example, France uses Marianne as a symbol of the French Revolution and the rejection of royalism in favor of republicanism and laicity.
