AIGA - American Institute of Graphic Arts: Symbol Signs

Below a selection of pictograms of the AIGA study on symbol signs, a project in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation. Including two amendments the system now covers 55 referents.

After defining the relevant messages an inventory of symbols from all over the world was set up. The selection of the concept to follow was based on an individual evaluation by experts regarding three distinct dimensions, and group discussions to arrive at a joint decision. Roger Cook and Don Shanosky developed the designs, which were reviewed and redrawn until consent was reached.

The pictograms of this sign system are available on paper as well as in electronic format from the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) or the Society of Environmental Graphic Designers (SEGD) at a minimum price and free of copyright! However, registering these symbols as trademark or design can be a copyright infringement.
