The Infinity Symbol.

In my trailer... once bitten by a zombie an " infinity symbol" will brand the skin.

I decided on an infinity sign as it means never ending, which fits with the 'new world' in my trailer - the world of zombies. The symbol looks like the number eight on its side and is a perfect design as it is bold, simple and symmetric. The zombies brand their symbol onto their victims' skin once they have been bitten and converted into a zombie.

I knew I needed a symbol of some sort and this was the simplest that I would be able to do on a large number of actors in a short space of time, and still look effective. I looked into a variety of different shapes such as triangles, hearts, diamonds, etc. However, this one had the meaning behind it, was simple to do and had an interesting design that was also adaptable in different sizes.
