Some international symbols - like the male and female figures on restrooms - are so ubiquitous it's easy to forget that they were actually new at one time, and that someone actually designed them. In fact, it's 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 important information clearly available to everyone is more than a matter of design - it's a matter of democracy and human rights. Competition entries are presented by category such as medical center, library, playground, travel center, evacuation meeting point and internet café. The winning entry, the nominated entries and the honorable mentions are presented in their entirety. All wonderful ideas coming soon to a wall near you. Register of Competition Participants included

This book gives an introduction to a work that was almost symbolically tied to the railway by possessing, like the railway itself, force, direction and goal. At the same time this book also paints a picture of the many other sides to Jens Nielsen, co-founder of the Danish Design Council, one of the creative forces behind the design of the DSB, (Danish State Railways), and the IC3 train. He is an an inspiring leader for the technicians, craftsmen, and artists who developed these projects. Through his work, Jens Nielsen linked management, quality, and design. He debated and inspired. He collected and coordinated. He secured unity and harmony. He made things happen.
