Features: Around us, text is quietly disappearing. Various signs, symbols, and advertisements are gradually abandoning the use of written language and increasingly adopting wordless icons as visual communication tools. This book not only discusses some flaws in the "universal design" invented by the International Design Commission and the Steering Committee but also focuses on excellent wordless design examples collected from around the world. It also proposes significant trends in graphic communication in trademarks, symbols, public information, and private conversations. This book is intended for all readers interested in the topic of how design transcends culture and how it shapes modern communication's speed and breadth.
