Discussion

All pictograms found show the side view of a human figure on a skibob, which is probably they only way to unambiguously convey the message Skibobbing on basis of a graphic symbol.

In our research we did not discover any test data on comprehensibility of pictograms concerning Skibobbing, but the typical images shown above should be quite comprehensable for persons aware of this kind of sports.

Recommendations
