Life / What really represents Polish people? What would be the symbol of Poland... [51]

Dear Piorun,

of course, you are totally right that about the fact that what the majority thinks is the symbol that should be used... it's just that I'mj doing a research on culture and religion is important, but it's even above culture... it's important, but something different... that's the reason why I don't really want to use it. It's not the most appropriate, as kielbasa is not very appropriate... you could thinik of Poland and Polish people when you think of it... but it's not the most important thing about Poland... it's not really communicating the spirit of Poland, the value of POlish people... you know what I mean?

By the way... if I wanted to use the eagle as a symbol or as one of the symbols... do I need a legal permission for that? Does it have a copyrighht protection or its public domain? Does anybody know?

Thank you very much for your answers!

There are quiete some answers that say that vodka is typical... I thought that it was more Russian, than Polish... =)

About religiuos symbols, as you can see from the different comments, it's a touchy matter. Therefore, I wouldn't like to go into it and use a religious symbol...

If I put a lot of represantative symbols on the cover... well, it could have a cheap look: too many things and it's kind of hard to organize such a composition... usually it looks too caotic and it's actually hard to actually execute it...

food and drinks... well, I'm not sure if it really represents Poland, as a culture... to represent= to express all the values that it has.

So so far I see the eagle, the warsaw mermaid (but not everybody agree that it would symbolize the whole), the wawel castle, nike, the King Zygmunt Column, as symbols in terms of something that could be designed on the cover... What would be the best of these things? Is there anything else?

Cool! Thanks for your answer!

The Polish mermaid seems to be interesting...
I need it to put it in the cover of my research... so it needs to be something that you can design...
whta does the mermaid mean?

+ do you have any other ideas?

those ppl mentined are great... but i cannot put all of them... and it would be unfair to pu one¨¨
