The Symbol Sourcebook: A Comprehensive Guide to International Graphic Symbols This authoritative guide represents a major achievement in the field of graphic design, providing a universal reference for designers and anyone who encounters symbols in their daily lives. Famed industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss and his team have collected and codified graphic symbols from around the world, creating a practical and easy-to-use resource. The book is organized into three main sections, each covering a different aspect of graphic symbols. The Basic Symbols section provides a concise and highly selective grouping of common symbols, while the Disciplines section covers symbols used in various fields such as travel, architecture, and business. The Color section lists the meanings of each color in different worldwide applications and cultures, and the Graphic Form section displays symbols grouped according to their form. With translations of section titles and discipline areas into 17 languages, this sourcebook is designed to be a truly universal reference, making it an essential tool for anyone who needs to identify and understand symbols in their work or travels.
