Design new public information graphic symbols according to the template specified in this chapter: g h) Test new public information graphic symbols according to the provisions of GBT16903.2 5 Reduce the meaning, function and image content of graphic symbols 5.1 A public information graphic symbol should only be used to convey one public message. Before designing a new public information graphic symbol, determine the category to which the graphic symbol belongs in the field of public information graphic symbols. Each graphic symbol should only appear in one category. The classification of public information graphic symbols is as follows: a) General symbols: b) Special facilities symbols: c) Tourism and leisure symbols: Passenger and freight symbols: e) Sports and fitness symbols: Shopping symbols: Health care symbols: h) Others. General: For ease of use, B ↑ 1LCO1 According to the above classification, it is divided into several parts. This does not mean that the symbols in one part of the label cannot be used in the field of other parts. 5.2 New public information graphic symbols should have a special meaning. The meaning given should not only be able to express the information to be conveyed by the graphic symbol, but also be convenient to use to refer to the graphic symbol. The meaning given to the graphic symbol should be as simple and easy to store as possible. 2 5.3 The image content of the designed public information graphic symbol should be clear and descriptive (see Figure 1). T10001.1 2006159 Hotel: Hotel Meaning: Hotel: Hotel Function: Indicates accommodation facilities or accommodation facilities P: The image content contains people sleeping on it. Figure 1 Examples of the meaning, function and image content of public information graphic symbols 6 Graphic symbol design General requirements 6.1.1 The design of graphic symbols should be: a) Clear b) Easy to understand: About the comprehensibility test of graphic symbols (B/T 16903.2. Easy to be associated with its intended meaning; Keep the symbol details as few as possible, and only include the symbol details that help to understand the meaning of the graphic symbol; d Easy to distinguish from other graphic symbols; Design the graphic symbol in a symmetrical form as much as possible (see Figure 2); GB/T 16903.1—2008 Design based on objects, actions or a combination of the two that are easy for the public to recognize, and avoid using 5 popular styles related to the g G Design the graphic symbols used in the same field in the same style. 11) GB'T 10001.3 200-(09): Bus Figure 2 Example of symmetrical graphic symbols Graphic symbols should not be designed in the following ways: a) Designing graphic symbols in the form of images, but letters, numbers or punctuation marks can be used as symbol elements: b) Making the graphic symbol too slender in any direction: CB/T 16903.1—2008 ) Making the ratio of the length to the width of the symbol greater than 3:1 6.1.2 When designing public information graphic symbols, possible negative forms should be considered to reduce the impact on the comprehensibility of the graphic symbols after adding negative elements: 6.1.3 When designing public information graphic symbols containing human figures, it is advisable to refer to the representation rules given in Appendix A and Appendix B 6.2 Use of templates Public information graphic symbols should be designed according to the templates given in Chapter ?. When designing, the symbol elements in the graphic symbol should not exceed the side length of 90 in the template. InI1, when a symbol element in a graphic symbol is close to and parallel to the inner edge of the frame, the symbol element should not exceed the dotted square area of 80 mm in the template. 6.3 Use of characters 6.3.1 When designing public information graphic symbols: letters, numbers, punctuation marks, mathematical symbols and other characters should only be used as symbol elements. 6.3.2 If certain letters or punctuation marks have been widely recognized, they can be used alone as symbol elements, such as the letter "P" for parking and the punctuation mark \? for information. ”, 6.4 Combination of graphic symbols or symbol elements 6.4.1 If a new graphic symbol is formed by combining two or more graphic symbols or symbol elements, its meaning should not conflict with the meaning of its components (see Figure 3), G8/T10001.32004 (50): Air cargo Note: This public information graphic symbol is a combination of two graphic symbols or components. It is GB/T10001.3-2004 (1) \ Aircraft \ and GB/T13001.3-2004 (45) \ Cargo \, Figure 3 Example of a new public information graphic symbol formed by combining graphic symbols 6.4.2 Under the premise of ensuring the comprehensibility of the new graphic symbol, the number of graphic symbols or symbol elements used in the combination should be as small as possible. 6.4.3 The graphic symbols or symbol elements specified in the standard should be used as much as possible to form a new public information graphic symbol. When using When the graphic symbol or symbol element specified in the standard is used as the symbol element of the new graphic symbol, the standard graphic of the symbol element should be modified (see Figure 4). In GB/T10001, the standard graphics of the symbol elements are such as words, wheelchairs, bicycles, and uppercase letters for learning to drive. GR/T13001.:-2006(74): Bicycle parking Figure 4 Example of using standard graphics as symbol elements 1 6.5 Solid graphics and outlines GB/T16903.1—2008 When designing public information graphic symbols, solid graphics should be used first [see Figure 5a]. Outline lines can be used when necessary. For example, outline lines can be used to represent superimposed symbol elements [see Figure 5b)]. + GR/T10001.3—2004<01):E machine a) Example of using solid graphics CB/T10001.2—2006(74): Double-engraved queuing L) Example of using wheel lines Figure 5 Example of using solid graphics and contour lines 6.6 Line width 6.6.1 When using templates to design public information graphic symbols, the line width in the graphic symbol should not be less than 2.0mm [see Figure 6a)]. 6.6.2 In order to keep the graphic symbol designed by the template visually clear when it is reduced to 10% [see Figure 6b), the distance between the symbol lines should not be less than 1.5mml (see Figure 6a)] a) GB/T10001.2—2006 (60): Chair-type aerial crown car: Single chair-type aerial continuation car Note: All line widths in Figure a) are greater than 2.0mm. The distance between all velvet strips is greater than 1.5mm Figure 6 Examples of the use of line width and line spacing in graphic symbols and examples when the graphic symbol is reduced to 10% of its design size 5 GB/T 16903,1—2008 6.7 Dimensions of symbol elements In the design template given in Chapter 7, the minimum dimension of the symbol element in the graphic symbol should not be less than 3.5 mm×2.5 mm (see Figure 7) GB/T10001.1—2G06 (9) Waste bin Note: The dimension of all symbol elements is 3.5 mm×2.5 mm. Figure 7 Examples of minimum dimensions of symbol elements 6.8 Negation 6.8.1 Public information graphic symbols with negation are particularly related to safety information and should only convey information related to comfort or convenience, such as please breathe quickly. Continuation: The design guidelines for prohibition signs in safety signs are given in 1S03864-3 6.8.2 When the meaning of the original symbol is to be completely negated, the negation element shall be a straight bar from the upper left to the lower right (see Figure 8). In order to ensure that there is no conflict with the safety sign, the negation shall not be expressed in the form of a circle with a straight bar. The negation straight bar shall be above the graphic symbol. When designing a public information graphic symbol with a negative straight bar using the template specified in 7.2, the negative straight bar shall not interfere with the understanding of the graphic symbol: otherwise, the graphic symbol shall be appropriately modified. Note: The circle with a straight bar is used in safety signs to indicate prohibition. Reference GB/T289312 GR/T10001.1—2005(81): Do not smoke Figure 8 Example of the use of a negative straight bar GR/T 16903.1—2008 6.8.3 When a symbol in a public information graphic symbol is used to express partial negation, the negation element shall be a cross (see Figure 9). The two straight bars of the cross or negation cross should intersect vertically. The cross representing negation should be placed on the symbol to be defined. When the definition is disturbed by the cross and the interpretation of the graphic symbol is disturbed, the intersection angle of the cross can be adjusted. GB/T 10001.1—2006(02): Non-drinking water Figure 9 Example of the use of the negation cross 6.9 Color The color of the graphic symbol should be black: the back color of the graphic symbol should be white: the front color of the negation cross or negation cross should be red. When the graphic symbol needs to be reproduced in monochrome: the color of the definition straight bar or the verification cross should be 0% black (see Figure 10). Note: The color regulations are used for design purposes. Figure 10 Example of color of negative pattern when graphic symbols are used for monochrome reproduction 6.10 Directional characteristics When designing public information graphic symbols, it is advisable to avoid making the symbols directional or implying directional characteristics. When public information graphic symbols are directional, it should be ensured that the meaning is maintained when the graphic symbols are rotated to other directions. 7 Template 7.1 Design template of public information graphic symbols without negative bars The template used to design public information graphic symbols without negative bars is shown in Figure 11. GB/T16903.1—2008 口9 mm 100 mm Note: The design template of public information graphic symbols is the square part of the basic model.
