Facts From Link .......Gerd Arntz was the designer tasked with making Isotype’s pictograms and visual signs. Eventually, Arntz designed around 4000 such signs, which symbolized keydata from industry, demographics, politics and economy. Otto Neurath saw that the proletariat, which until then had been virtually illiterate, were emancipating, stimulated by socialism. For their advancement, they needed knowledge of the world around them. This knowledge should not be shrined in opaque scientific language, but directly illustrated in straightforward images and a clear structure, also for people who could not, or hardly, read.
I thought it was amazing one man could design so many signs, Signs and designs also date back to cavemen paintings, that was a form of reading and telling stories. History shows how people learned from painting for the one who couldn't read. We still need symbols and signs, I believe they will never go away.
