  1. Gotta love those #pictograms from the #80ies 🩵💙💜💛🧡💚

  2. Took some pics yesterday of my small Lovers Communication System keyboard prototype.
    It will help me to explore how to type with a corpus of 800 combination glyphs. I have many other ideas but you have to start somewhere 🤔

  3. When you see LoCoS, you might think about Blissymbols. While Bliss chose to develop a written language, the invention of Ota combines shape, meaning, and sound so that it can be spoken.
    Another main difference between the two systems is the vision of its creator. While Bliss wanted to keep control of his language and live from royalty, Ota knew he couldn't handle it by himself, asking for help to work on his creation with others. Accessibility is key.

  4. The Lovers Communication System is a pictorial language created by the genius Japanese designer Yukio Ota in 1964. You may know him as the main designer behind the ISO symbol Exit Sign, which has been adopted worldwide.

    His goal was to create a universal language that is easy to read, write, and remember, based on a combination of symbols and pictograms.

  5. OK, it's time to talk about the last project I spent many, many days to make:
    The digitalization of the Lovers Communication System (LoCoS)
    I am thrilled to announce that I will present it at the next Symbol 24 Conference on September 20th. Grab a ticket here; this is an online conference!
