Finalized/ Edited the symbol

After I showing my global warming symbol to tutor or teacher during the tutorial class, she had gave some ideas to improve further for my symbol and corrected my mistakes on my symbol. Thus, here is the improved symbol.
I removed the words i put on the symbol as it shouldn't have words for symbol.
I changed the brush of the lines of the eye as the tutor recommend me to use formal kind of lines. She also asked me to add a "punch" on the black circles as I wasn't really clear of what she trying to tell but after she showed an example like adding another white shape on top of the black circle. But I changed her idea a bit by using the flare tool and place a flare on the middle of the black circle instead of placing any shape on top of it.

As the symbol changed slightly, the concept/meanings of the symbol were also changed a bit.
The concept of the symbol is still the same, which is to ask the audience or viewers have they realize how dangerous/strong can the hurricane be that caused by the global warming which is happening right in front of our eyes. But we still not too late to reduce the strength of hurricane in order to reduce the damages on everything on the earth include us as there is still a slight hope if we realize now and start to take action now.

The shape of the eye represent the sight/view of people who see the danger/ bad effects caused by global warming.

The spiral lines that spiraling towards the center or the black circle inside the outlines of the shape of an eye represent the hurricane which is the topic that i focus on hurricane which can be strengthen by the global warming ( more info> link)

The black circle in the middle means the end of certain areas as hurricanes getting stronger and destroy all the things in the town will occurs in future as the effect of the global warming IF no people taking any actions to reduce the strength of the hurricane and stops the global warming happening.
In the black circle, there's a small light sparkling showing that there's still a hope for us to reduce the damage to the smallest by reducing the global warming.

The chimneys of factories with chemical gases coming out from the chimneys were drawn upside down represents the tears and also blood showing the fears of the people towards the danger of hurricane strengthen by global warming as the stronger is the hurricane, the more lives of living things were killed by the hurricane. Thus, I painted the chimneys red represent the lives of living things killed by the hurricane.
The chimneys of the factories also represent that the harmful gases produced by us as we built and invented them such as is causing global warming, showing that global warming is caused by human, its our fault.Thus, we are responsible to reduce the effects of global warming.
