A bicone (bi- comes from Latin - meaning two) is the three-dimensional surface of revolution of a rhombus around one of its axes of symmetry. A bicone has circular symmetry and orthogonal bilateral symmetry.

Orange, the blend of red and yellow, is a mixture of the energy associated with red and the happiness associated with yellow. Orange is associated with meanings of joy, warmth, heat, sunshine, enthusiasm, creativity, success, encouragement, change, determination, health, stimulation, happiness, fun, enjoyment, balance, sexuality, freedom, expression, and fascination.

Orange is the colour of joy and creativity. Orange promotes a sense of general wellness and emotional energy that should be shared, such as compassion, passion, and warmth. Orange will help a person recover from disappointments, a wounded heart, or a blow to one’s pride.

Orange also helps aid decision making, and enhances happiness, confidence, and understanding.

While orange does stimulate the appetite, it is a common colour found in citrus fruit and is often associated with Vitamin C and a healthy diet. Orange is a popular colour in restaurants to encourage the feeling of hunger and contentment.

The colour orange has very high visibility and is often used to gain attention. It still gets your message noticed without the bold, in-your-face presence that the colour red has.

Different shades, tints, and hues of orange have different meanings. For example, dark orange may represent deceit and distrust, while red-orange relates to passion, pleasure, desire, aggression, domination, and action, and a golden orange often stands for prestige, wisdom, illumination, wealth, and quality. A light orange or peach colour tends to be more friendly and soothing.

~ Rainbow ~ Circle

The rainbow flag, commonly known as the gay pride flag or LGBT pride flag, is a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) pride and LGBT social movements. Other older uses of rainbow flags include a symbol of peace.

The colours reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, as the flag is often used as a symbol of pride during LGBT events. While this use of the rainbow flag originated in Northern California’s San Francisco Bay Area, the flag is now used worldwide.

Originally devised by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker, the design has undergone several revisions since its debut in 1978. The most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically flown horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.
