Awareness ribbon
Awareness ribbons are small bows and are usually worn on the lapel as a sign of solidarity with a certain group . Furthermore, these are used as symbols in a variety of applications. a. used in social networks. The shape of the awareness ribbons is usually identical. They are differentiated by the respective color scheme.
However, the color scheme itself is not clear. The colors are sometimes interpreted differently in different countries. Colors are also used multiple times, i.e. for different purposes at the same time. There is a risk that the message that is being conveyed will be misunderstood or not perceived.
