Ant
Modern meaning
Normally associated with work, but seldom seen in modern logos as the ant is also associated with insignificance/weakness. A word of caution: In logo design, simpler is usually better. The complexity of the ant's anatomy makes it a challenging subject. Even our simplified illustration shown to the left may not be suitable for small-scale printing - as on a business card.
If work, teamwork or community are attributes you want to convey, consider using a bee instead.
