Some international symbols - like the male and female figures on restrooms - are so ubiquitous its easy to forget that they were actually new at one time, and that someone actually designed them. In fact, its possible that no designers products ever touch more people than these ingenious pictograms, which could be called the ultimate clip art. 'Even with the most extreme reduction to essentials, their drawings are capable of conveying sensuality, surprise and precise information,' wrote the seminar Swiss typographer Hans-Rudolf Lutz. 'I have come to admire these unsung designers.' This delightful book- a sure source of wonder and inspiration for professional designers - details a Swedish national competition aimed at creating standards for making public symbols more uniform and useful, in keeping with the concept of Design for All. Making importand information clearly available to everyone is more than a matter of design - its a matter of democracy and human rights.
