I’m guessing it’ll be free forever, as the idea of licensing these graphics, many of which are already in use, seems dubious. I’ve seen design projects like this one come and go, though that doesn’t affect my hopes that maybe this one will be the one everybody uses (besides governments and airports, which likely have their own). It’s more than just collecting icons, clearly. And there will have to be some specifying where extant symbols (like that for sync), lacking context, could be taken for something else (recycling, maybe). Concepts that have serious local variations (such as writing up-down and right-left instead of left-right) or where laws and customs differ (left-hand drive, “V” gesture) will require specialized symbols. I’ll be interested to see how some cultural differences affect the intelligibility of some of these things. Whether for signage or UI, a collection like this could be handy. But there are plenty of things left un-iconified, or if they have been reduced to glyph form, they’re not all easily accessible at a central location. They borrow liberally from established icon sets and public domain symbols, of course: there’s no need to create a new, more graphic “biohazard” symbol, or try to improve on the “walking guy with arrow” we see in every airport. What will be the international symbol for URL shortener? Social network? Gluten-free? Apple Store? The world is shrinking day by day, and a comprehensive set of symbols like this may grow to be invaluable when providing localized text isn’t feasible, as in internationally-distributed packaging, or a single-domain service that can’t or won’t track their user’s location. One could argue that something like Google image search has made obsolete this kind of effort, but I think there’s a place for it. The idea is simple: make a freely accessible library of clear, simple graphics that represent everything from emergency rooms and medications to different kinds of cocktails or entrees.
