http://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/symbol-signs
AIGA, the professional association for design, stimulates thinking about design, demonstrates the value of design and empowers the success of designers at each stage of their careers. AIGA’s mission is to advance designing as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force. Founded in 1914, AIGA remains the oldest and largest professional membership organization for design, and is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) educational institution.
The complete set of 50 passenger/pedestrian symbols developed by AIGA is now available on the web, free of charge. Signs are available in EPS and GIF formats.
This system of 50 symbol signs was designed for use at the crossroads of modern life: in airports and other transportation hubs and at large international events. Produced through a collaboration between AIGA and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), they are an example of how public-minded designers can address a universal communication need.

signs
Semiotics is a very important process in influential reference to graphic design, Semiotics its the study and sign processes when conducted individually or in groups of data and it enables us to analyze and understand the meaning of format of signs, patterns and symbolism and its important that we understand a creation before we interact with it a sign can be anything from a word, a sound, or a visual image.
Semiotics is very important in the development of graphic design especially in the visual communications of signs and their meanings, it’s something we have subliminally learnt to understand an example of this is road signs, or independently learnt such as sign language.
A word can transmit a meaning only within the language’s grammatical structures and codes. Codes also represent the values of the culture, and are able to add new shades of connotation to every aspect of life. Many symbols can represent the same word but its how it communicates with the majority of its audience that determines how successful it works to project its meaning.
