Recognizable Symbols

Symbols are key tools for communicating information quickly and universally. Using familiar and recognizable pictograms helps people from different backgrounds and abilities to understand them without difficulty.

  • Familiar symbols: Use symbols that are easy for everyone to understand.
  • Pictography: use recognizable symbols and avoid new ones or those that are difficult to understand.
  • Adjust the readability of symbols with parameters similar to typographic ones.
  • Symbols must inform about places, objects or actions.
