  2. I keep seeing this #pictogram (top right hand corner, stick man holding a #spanner and wearing a #rosette ) on parts of #VW cars (it was also on the #DSG gearbox of my Polo). I know it means "qualified/trained #mechanic only should work on this assembly and the one in my picture is a specification of oil and refrigerant for the airco),

    I've not found any sources that #mechanics in Germany get #rosettes on completing their training, and in UK a rosette is either associated with political party membership or you might get one if you won some kind of #sports event (or a beauty contest) so I'm curious as to why its used..

  11. I will document everything when I have digested it and share it on the website dedicated to LoCos launched last month.
    But first, I still have a lot to do on this website, as many things need to be polished in terms of content and functionalities...😅

    I just wanted to share some bites with you here.

    Oh, and I have many other things to share about my trip stay tuned

  12. We have also talked about digitalization, as I understand now how he has constructed all LoCoS shapes and how I should improve mine. He still has a sharp mind and a good eye.
    He grew up in a kimono shop owned by his family and was surrounded by Japanese family Crest design. He still owns catalogs, this one has a hundred years old I think.

  13. He invited me to his apartment full of documentation about language systems, pictogram design, and his research on LoCoS when he was working on one of the first courses in the world on pictogram design at Zokei University around 1966. I had to buy a portable scanner to scan his postcard sized archives full of drawings for my own research and only had the time to scan a drop in the ocean.

  14. I had the chance to exchange with him on multiple occasions during this month, listen to his life, and explore his archives together. He was really kind and humble about his career and was always eager to make me discover new things as he did during all his personal life and with his students, even with his current health issues.

  15. I haven't taken the time yet to talk about it, but I was in Japan 🇯🇵 last month and just came back few days ago!
    It was not really planned, but following the Symbol Group Conference, where I presented my work on The Lovers Communication System's ongoing digitalization, the genius designer behind it Yukio Ota opened me his door and I couldn't miss the chance of meeting him.
