Matt Toman - Pictogram



This pictogram's simple use of line and shape comprise an understandable message that no smoking is allowed. That also can convey that no smoking of any kind, weather that's cigarettes, cigars, pipes, etc., is acceptable. It's accessible. The red circle with a cross through it clearly recognizes the sign's function. This communicates that this is the rule and there are no exceptions. Red is a vibrant color with connotations that one could maybe perceive as bad or wrong. That's also helpful because it catches your attention. It's all unified though because of its use of minimal elements.
