Riassunto

The pictograms seen in urban signage such as department stores, museums, Olympic venues, public toilets, in print media, and on the Web are compiled in this single volume. This book presents outstanding pictograms and icons created by professionals from fifteen different countries around the world, categorized by industry for easy reference. Featuring a foreword by Ruedi Rüegg, a well-known graphic designer and visiting professor and guest lecturer at Ohio University, Kent State University, Carnegie Mellon University, and Cooper Union Design School. As Rüegg says, "Pictograms organize. Pictograms create order in an often chaotic world." Without pictograms and signs, today’s complicated multi-language world would not work, and thus, user-friendly pictograms are demanded for public spaces. When reviewing the selected 180 examples from fifteen countries, readers will see the universality of the designs, and understand what a good sign is supposed to look like.
