The handicap pictogram is widely understood to represent areas of accommodations such as parking spots or ramps for people with disabilities. This pictogram includes a white half circle representing a wheelchair with a simple white stick figure sitting in the wheelchair against a blue background. The original pictogram was designed by Susanne Koefoed in 1968. However, alternative versions have been created to make a more inclusive symbol such as the one designed by Sara Hendren and Brian Glenney which shows a figure in a wheelchair in motion as oppose to in a stationary position like the in original pictogram. This pictogram works because people now understand the meaning of a sign with the symbol imprinted on it without needing to print the word “handicap” itself specifically. I see this symbol everywhere I go, especially in parking lots and on bathroom signs.
