Tactile Icon Designs
This space displays tactile icon designs and how they are used to label appliances. Each post includes a text description of the design and comments from the developer.
The tactile icon collection is quite large and I have labeled over 100 different appliance models. This space will be updated periodically.
Your comments are welcome and encouraged but please, please, please be respectful. Thank you!
Update!
HALOS collection of tactile icons has been updated and displayed in a single document. Check out the HALOS Tactile Icon Collection post.
