INTRODUCTION

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Picture yourself in an airport, in a foreign country. You've just landed. You don't speak the language. You don't know the culture. You are, in effect, lost. Despite the language you speak or where you're from, first aid is first aid, food is food, luggage is luggage, and transportation is transportation. Without this symbolic language, you would be confused and bewildered and may never find your way.

Icons, symbols, and pictograms may be the purest form of visual communication. They transcend the boundaries of language and culture to convey a concept quickly and effectively. In selecting the works to be featured in this book we sought out simple, elegant solutions that communicated clearly-something we call simp/exity. As we filtered through the piles of submissions and collected works, we learned a great deal about icon design and cross-cultural communication. We hope that you also leave this book with a new appreciation for the world of icons, symbols, and pictograms.
