Pictograms

ge_science

Pictograms are part of our day to day living. They are everywhere, and we could know all kinds of helpful information from them. Aside from making your data look nice, pictograms can even make the data presented memorable. But who do you think created them? How long have they been useful to us?
The very first pictograms were written on caves and stones about 18,000 years ago. People used them to document events and other information. As years passed, they became writing systems like hieroglyphs in ancient Egypt and Chinese characters.
Today, pictograms are becoming more and more valuable as our world develops. They are very beneficial in areas where people from other parts of the globe gather. Take the Olympic games, for example. Pictograms are helpful because people can understand them easily. People use them for indicating sports events as well as facilities like restaurants and restrooms. Moreover, we can also see pictograms in public places such as train stations and shopping malls.

Olympic Pictograms

ge_science

Olympic pictograms are new nowadays. In 1964, Katsumi Masaru, together with a team of designers, created the first Olympic pictograms for the games in Tokyo. They combined ideas from Europe and kamon, traditional Japanese designs for family crests.
During the Tokyo Olympic Games, their pictograms were used in sports events as well as restrooms and restaurants. Moreover, some of the pictograms are now in use globally. Katsumi Masaru and the team of designers gave up their rights to these designs so that they would become international common property.
Ever since the Tokyo Olympic Games, the host countries have made different sets of pictograms. In the Olympic Games in Mexico in 1968, they applied colors from traditional Mexican art to their pictograms. Meanwhile, in Australia, boomerangs were added to their designs. In China, the pictograms were like calligraphy. For the London Olympics of 2012, the pictograms were similar to real pictures. Through time, Olympic pictograms may change but the Tokyo Olympic pictograms set the standard for the Olympic pictograms.
