  6. I would like to use the Sloane pictogram set, extracted form the Sloane font (made in 2009?). Does any one know if one can use them freely or are these under some form of copyright?

    Cannot find anything after a search.

  10. 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..

  16. Een vraagje over #privacy (wetgeving België/EU). Is het toegelaten dat een persoon of een handelszaak zonder meer een #camera achter zijn raam plaatst en deze naar buiten, naar de straatkant richt? Zie foto. Nergens zag ik het verplichte #pictogram met de wettelijke vermeldingen.

  22. 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

  23. 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.

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  29. Speaking of risk prevention, the Jishin Itsumo is not the only one to provide cool multipurpose handkerchiefs. ぼうさいぬぐい (bousainugui = wiping paper for protection against disaster) is another brand you can buy on common marketplaces. You can find package containing 5 different bandanas with unique theme like earthquake, corona virus, tsunami, what to do with animals etc... you can I bought the pack for 19 euros. I love them.

    poke @joachim !

  30. The third item is a card game !
    You have theme cards and the goal is to group them on the table. When a group is made, the player needs to answer questions to see if he has learn the tips on the cards. Illustrations and finishing of the game is top quality. I think I only miss one book to have the complete collection.

  31. Second book is the Jishin Itsumo Manual.
    It explains everything you need to know to be prepared for an earthquake : how and why it happens in Japan, what you need to prepare at home, what furniture you need to fix on the wall, how and what you can cook, how you can poop and clean you up without functional sewers, etc. It's really well made and you can find it around 4 euros on second hand marketplaces.

  32. First there is the Jishin Itsumo kit. It includes a book note which illustrates the testimony of 167 survivors of Great Hanshin earthquake in Kobe in 1995. What a work !
    The kit includes also two leaflets, one explaining how to set up an emergency contact and one explaining what you need to prepare at home.
    The last item is a handkerchief with multipurpose ideas printed on it : it can be a mask, a bandage, a flag, etc. Bought it for 12 euros in mint condition.
