Zeichen: A Reference for Signs, Symbols, and Icons
Zeichen is an educational and reference app developed by Alexander Clauss for iPhone. It serves as a comprehensive guide to signs, symbols, and icons that we encounter in various settings such as streets, products, buildings, workplaces, and more.
With a wide range of categories, including rescue signs, mandatory signs, prohibition signs, fire safety signs, warning signs, hazard symbols, hazardous materials identification signs, road signs, railway signals and signs, inland waterway signs, road construction signs, textile care symbols, symbols on product packaging, organic labels, environmental symbols, package markings, and AIGA symbols, Zeichen provides valuable information about the meaning and significance of these signs and symbols.
Not only does the app cover internationally recognized signs and symbols, but it also includes many specific to the European and German-speaking regions.
One useful feature of Zeichen is the ability to view detailed information about a particular sign or symbol. If a similar symbol is listed, users can simply navigate to the detail page to find additional variations and their respective meanings. For example, in the laundry care symbols section, users can find a circle with a letter inside. While the overview page only displays the circle with an "F," the detail page provides a comprehensive list of all other possible letters and their interpretations.
Moreover, Zeichen is compatible with the Apple Watch, allowing users to access its content conveniently from their wrist.
Stay tuned for future updates as the app continues to add more signs and symbols. Suggestions and inquiries are welcome, as the developer is open to feedback from users.
