Icons case study ,[object Object],[object Object],Low risk icon for fiber with high acceptance level from cultural analysis High risk: Associated with Christmas tree or a burning candle High risk: Associated this with -Marijuana because of 3 leaves High risk: Perceived as “slippery” or “curvy” road and “bird sanctuary” High risk: 47 countries associated this with “scary alien”
Icons case study ,[object Object],Unclear: Although the “smiley face” was considered a positive image, typically it was not associated with calcium. In Ireland this symbol is associated with narcotics or medicine. High risk: Milk bottles were often associated with mysterious, dark liquid, beer or wine bottles. Some  feedback that bottles could contain poison. High risk: Vague resemblance to milk cartons in some countries. More countries associated image with buildings, and in some cases portable toilets. Two countries noted resemblance to phallic symbols or tombstones. High risk: Dogs, dog food and low quality. Has potentially insulting connotations in some Muslim regions. Negative Cultural Feedback Icons for Calcium

Notas do Editor

  1. My background began with software development and product management, progressing to taking software products (and later other products) to foreign markets. Simplifying the message saves money both in the source development and in the subsequent reuse for other products in the source language as well as products that are then distributed internationally. I lived in France for 10 years and certainly could have used icons that would have helped me to identify dog food.
