El paso desde una intención comunicativa a un pictograma atraviesa un espacio de lenguaje, convenciones, jerarquías y formas. ¿Qué controles necesitamos para navegar este espacio “latente”? En un mundo de IA generativa es clave entender el rol que jugaremos diseñadores y todos aquellos que trabajamos en comunicación visual.

Whatever happened to electric shavers? There must have been a time when they were quite ubiquitous. Or why is there a socket like this? (On the corridor! Of a Hungarian train.)

Icons!
Regularly, projects lead to the creation of custom pictograms, which is a lot of fun to do. Translating concepts into simple shapes can be an interesting puzzle.
They can be minimalist or more detailed, monochrome or multicoloured, geometric or organic, corporate or informal, all depending on the visual identity they are matching and the target size they’ll be displayed at.
Attaching a range of four icon sets I did in varied styles 😊

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 🤔#design #keyboard #locos #loverscommunicationsystem #symbols #picto #pictograms #yukioota

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.↓ 3/8

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.

Is this character familiar?
The helmeted, shouting big-handed ”no entry for unauthorized persons” figure, a regular at workplace fences in Finland.Variations seem to exist at least in Europe, but where did it originate?

#UX lecture 3: On Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), while following the signs to the #WC you run into this sign. How would you discriminate the #pictograms for the two locations which need signs? Bonus question: Do you think the pictogram for the #elevator would have looked different if a woman had designed it? Look at the arrows before you answer.

"Having first appeared over half a century ago, Games #Pictograms are no longer just simple and generalised images for signage, as the whole concept has been reinvented by #Paris2024," the committee explains. "The newly unveiled pictograms illustrate each of the #Olympic and #Paralympic sports in a unique coat of arms, paying homage to the complexity of each of these #sports and what makes them original." https://www.creativebloq.com/news/paris-2024-pictograms #GraphicDesign #VisualCommunication
