Pictograms in Public Services: Pictures That Include Everyone

Discover how pictograms make public services clearer and more accessible for everyone, regardless of language or literacy.

Why a Small Picture Can Do a Big Job

Imagine arriving at a busy train station in a country whose language you don't speak. A pictogram, a simple, standardised image that represents an idea or action, can guide you to the exit, the toilet, or the help desk without a single word. These small icons are one of the most powerful tools public services have for reaching everyone.
