A visual dictionary of symbols

Published on 4/3/2006 in Diary. 2 Comments

Trying to help Nicolas to find nice symbols for the CatchBob! semi-structured interface, I  recalled this nice web site that I visited already in the past. It’s a visual dictionary of symbols. For each pictogram it shows references that uses the symbol and a description of the cross-cultural meaning. Different search tool are available.
