Synopsis

The bestselling Iconography shattered all preconceived notions of how visual information could be presented in book form. Iconography 2 takes the idea one step further with four volumes of the most striking icons and logos on the planet. Icons are the most powerful means of communications and images from a vast range of historical and geographical contexts. Placed together they make it easy for the reader to see how icons actually work and how simply the communicate meaning. Iconography 2 is broken into four books. The "Wearable", featuring iconography on T-shirts, clothing and bags; "Transportation", focuses on "wayfinding" icons in airports, train and bus stations, road signs etc; and "Lifestyle" with icons used in food packaging, wallpaper, screensavers and the like. Book four is a worldwide survey of miscellaneous icons not fitting into any on category.
