《SYMBOL》（ANGUS HYLAND）This book features over 1,300 symbols, organized into groups and sub-groups according to their visual characteristics. Every symbol is captioned with information on who it was designed for, who designed it, when, and what the symbol stands for. These sections are interspersed with short but detailed case studies featuring both classic symbols and exceptional examples of recently designed symbols.
