Signifier: The signifier is the bull statue. It's a bull ready to charge. With its lip curled, legs in racing position and its brows furrowed, the bull looks ready to take down anything in its way.
What it signifies: The bull signifies the the competitive environment it is located in--which is Wall Street. It's a cutthroat market on Wall Street, and the bull signifies that people will take other people down to protect their own.
My evidence: The bull is known for trampling any enemy it is faced with. Like those working on Wall Street, they will take down any obstacle that will prevent them from making their money. Wall Street is known for its ruthlessness and often its underhanded and dirty fighting. The bull is just a fantastic symbol of the nature of those on Wall St.
