Handbook of Pictorial Symbols

The great 3,250 image strong pictorial symbol and pictogram collection. A design classic first produced in the late 1970's this is an invaluable tool for any graphic designer or architect. The visual language of signs is laid bare here in this vast collection of internationally recognised public information symbols.
Its a fascinating and highly diverse selection from air transport, elevators, hotels, cars and taxis, simple unboxed symbols, machinery, gold and silver, health, immigration symbols, work, children, food, road crossings... if it has a symbol it is very likely to be here, from the U.S Weather Bureau to the Tokyo Olympic Games, from Montreal Expo to the Port Authority of New York.
