Ribbons may also take the form of stickers, bumper stickers or magnets and are frequently affixed to vehicles. They are pinned to clothing or tied around objects such as car antennas. Larger ribbons are often tied around trees and poles or attached to doors.
The meaning behind the awareness ribbon depends on its color. Many groups have adopted ribbons as symbols of support or awareness, and as a result, many causes often share a color. Some causes may also be represented by more than one color.
