@VolcanicPenguin -- I started by making the SUN yellow. Then ENERGY (and matter) flows are yellow. Then WORK, which sits on the yellow flows, can be blue. MONEY goes in the opposite direction of matter-energy and there are only so many basic colors, so money is red. Then PRICE can be orange without a transaction being too visually clashing (orange is the mix of red and yellow). BANKS are red because money is red. That is how it happened: Banks are red because I started by making the sun yellow!
@VolcanicPenguin -- Most of the symbols are from flowchart languages, culminating in the work of the ecologist Howard T. Odum. Hit my YouTube username "leearnold" to find the page with the bibliography.
Social class and female could get confused...though i'm not sure if you needed to make videos explaining this, I watched your social security and bush tax cuts videos before this and worked out from context what the symbols mean. Not that there's anything wrong in making it more explicit. Love the little scroll arrow you've got going down the bottom to show where we are in the video, topic wise.
haha I like how red is for a bank. BANK - DANGER DANGER.

Hmmmm... I dunno, I prefer the banks being red as a sign of danger. ;) No but that's interesting. So did you design all this stuff?
