picture dictionary & app for communicating on journeys worldwide
Picture dictionary editions for universal use all over the world
Our three different book editions and the digital app: The ICOON communicator picture dictionary makes it possible to combine symbols with the most important questions, answers and statements in six world languages to communicate even more complex contexts. While ICOON+ offers even more icons and photos in a slightly larger format, ICOON eco is 100% recyclable and contains many additional icons on environmental and climate protection. Is all that clear? What a pity – we were hoping to have to explain in pictures…
ICOON eco — a 100% recyclable pointing book
ICOON eco is the first environmentally-produced picture dictionary for ecological globetrotters: 100% recyclable, plastic-free and printed with non-toxic inks. Over 2,000 symbols, pictograms and photos facilitate non-verbal communication whatever the situation. Hay fever, plastic-free packaging, dental floss? Simply point to the corresponding icon and voilà!
Sustainable manufacturing is a key aspect of ICOON eco. It is printed on recycled paper consisting entirely of waste paper produced in a manner saving both energy and water, and is very low in harmful substances. The book is also printed with mineral oil-free and cobalt-free inks. The cover features a completely biodegradable film laminating. This ensures the book is durable, yet 100% recyclable.
New in the ICOON eco edition are symbols for sustainable action, relating to environment and climate protection, such as packaging-free shopping, renewable energies and animal welfare.
ICOON+ — An illustrated dictionary with more than 3,000 symbols in a larger format
Bigger size with 3,000 larger symbols. A picture dictionary for universal philosophers and would-be know-it-alls. The answer to questions no one else asks. Includes expanded image collection in space format and new sections, such as haircuts, occupations and sizes.
ICOON communicator — more than just a picture dictionary!
ICOON app — a digital dictionary for pointing to symbols and photos
ICOONs: strictly speaking, icons are nothing but pixels. In the age of Apps and Clouds, smartphones, Instagram and Twitter, high-tech icoonistas aren’t satisfied with printed versions alone. They also carry ICOON digital in their pockets or around their necks. The ICOON global picture dictionary intends to keep its place at the forefront of all further developments in the world of digital communication. Look forward to a few surprises. Or, better still: help us design them!
Over 1,100 symbols divided into the categories: clothing, hygiene, health, money, leisure, accommodation, authorities, travel, measurements, emotions, food, world, eco. The ‘Apps & Co’ Magazine comments: “5 stars out of 5. Great idea: with this picture dictionary you can get around the world without knowing a foreign language.” ‘Die Welt’: “Anyone travelling abroad should have the global picture dictionary ICOON in their luggage.”
