ICOON App
for iOS/iPhone and Android

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!

ICOONs icons sind strenggenommen auch nur Pixel. Im Zeitalter von Apps und Clouds, Smartphones, Instagram und Twitter begnügen sich fortgeschrittene Icoonistas deshalb nicht allein mit ihrer gedruckten Version. Sie tragen zusätzlich ICOON digital in der Tasche oder an der Halskette. Das ICOON Bildwörterbuch wird auch bei allen weiteren Entwicklungen in der Welt der digitalen Kommunikation ganz vorne mit dabei sein. Lassen Sie sich überraschen. Oder besser noch: Gestalten Sie sie mit!

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.”
