SYMBOL ANALYSIS:
According to this MacWorld article about a Rob Janoff interview it is stated that the "bite" was first, basically, decided upon to differentiate it from the logo appearing to look like a cherry among other things.

Citroen: is a major French automobile manufacturer, part of the PSA Peugeot Citroen group.
Founded in 1919 by French industrialist André-Gustave Citroën (1878–1935), Citroen was the first mass-production car company outside the USA and pioneered the modern concept of creating a sales and services network that complements the motor car. Within eight years Citroen had become Europe's largest car manufacturer and the 4th largest in the world.
The origin of the logo may be traced back to a trip made by the 22-year-old André Citroën to Łódź city, Poland, where he discovered an innovative design for a chevron-shaped gearused in milling. He bought the patent for its application in steel. Mechanically a gear with helical teeth produces an axial force. By adding a second helical gear in opposition, this force is cancelled. The two chevrons of the logo represent the inter meshing contact of the two.

The two standard gender symbols denoting male ♂ and female ♀ are derived from astrological symbols, denoting the classical planets Mars and Venus, respectively. These symbols have been in use since the Renaissance also denoting elements in alchemy, specifically the metals iron and copper.

Institution and Audience: The Conjuring
I wanted to go and see the conjuring because I have an interest in paranormal horror films, and also a lot of my friends have seen it and demanded that I go and see it.I also went to see it as the short trailer was very gripping and I wanted to see what else the film had in store. Also the film has had a large advertisement world wide, and this influenced me to want to see it as it is advertised EVERYWHERE! (e.g. billboards, TV, internet and magazines)
The plot of the film began to get quite complicated as the film went on, but this added to the unpredictable feel of the film. Staying true to the genre, the film kept me on the edge of my seat as the use of music and superb timing had me screaming like a girl. I really did enjoy the film, however the creators could have tried a bit harder to me more different from films such as paranormal activity and insidious.
The use of aspects from a real life story helped it to become more realistic and in turn more enjoyable. The film was successful in having the audience fearing for their lives, and also to have the audience thinking about the event that occurred in the film a long while after the film had finished. On of the factors that made is slightly unenjoyable was that the cinema was slightly too warm, and this made it hard for me to concentrate in the film.
