Pictograms  Pictorial or Iconic Signs is an image that represent an object. Visual Language  They re-present by sharing critical attributes, such as contour, surface structure, number of parts, pattern, color, and order of connection.  Pictograms can be simplified and abbreviated to the point where some would not be able to see the "picture."  Pictorial or Iconic Signs is an image that represent an object.
