[Sigia-l] is there a word

[Groot, Boyd de]

Perhaps 'an icon language' for hotel X ?

I have encountered similar questions in a recent project. The language 
analogy is often used in icon design. It allows you to design/discuss 
things like icon semantics (is a pool represented by waves or a diving
board?) and icon syntax (how are different sub-objects (if any) structured
in the icon layout? )

(You can also extend the analogy upwards to 'narrative style' (think Apple
vs MS) and downwards to medium specific carriers)

for a set of icons that represent aspects of a thing: like a hotel that has
icons that represent pool, pets welcome, parking or a movie theater that has
icons for handicapped accessible, hearing impaired, parking, etc.
