This is neat!
Imagine traveling to a place where you don’t speak the language and being able to just point to what you need… Imagine no more! Someone has made a line of t-shirts called IconSpeak that are covered in universal icons!!
Here’s what IconSpeak’s founders have to say:
When were you the last time in a situation where no language or hand gesture that you master was sufficient to get you what you wanted? Imagine you are abroad – in a foreign country, in a foreign culture, maybe while travelling the world. That’s what we did, travelling the world – partially, well the three of us combined almost completely. In the furthest and deepest corners of our world we were repeatedly left with no words, either in breathtaking awe due to the sceneries or in empty silence, due to our lacking linguistic talents. Such situations got us thinking about how to bridge language barriers with utmost simplicity, on a global level. The answer came to us after a remarkable experience in the depths of Vietnamese backcountry… ICONs. Because with ICONs, you can SPEAK, you can SPEAK to the world.
