Can you see what I see?

There are many ways to understand communication. Audio, visual, and written the main forms and are used everyday. Many different people comprehend communication differently. It just so happens that I respond better with visual communication. I mean ... doesn’t everybody? When someone is trying to verbally or audio communicate to me it doesn’t connect to me as well as visually seeing what the other person is talking about/ wants me to do. According to "History of Visual Communication" Visual communication is the communication of ideas through the visual display of information. This can include two-dimensional images, it includes: art, signs, photography, typography, drawing fundamentals, color and electronic resources.

Visual communication has time to process and really makes me think about what I am looking at or what has to be done. There is no specific way that I need to visualize to understand what I need to understand. It can vary from pictures, shapes, words, actions etc. I just need to physically see something take place before I can pick up on this action.  For an example when I am being trained for a job the boss can tell me multiple times what to do but I will have multiple questions until I see what needs to be done hands on in front of my eyes.

This is the Android logo, this logo was developed by google after they took over the company from Android inc. This robot is very significant because it is recognized as being the face of the company. When you see this logo, you know what company it matches with. It looks like a robot but Google calls it the Bugdroid, because programmers are always chasing down bugs. The reason why people know this is automatically a Android logo is because when google first brought this company every time your phone started up this green-yellowish robot would say droid in a monotone voice. Making is significant to the company.

Do you know this man? You have to know this man. Where, might you have to know this man from?  I'll tell you. . . this is Tom. Tom from Myspace. Tom co-founded the biggest social media outlet in the early 2000s. Whenever you signed on Myspace you would see this picture and he happened to be your first friend when signing up. If you ask anyone this and the logo for myspace would be key targets to the company.


This Toyota car symbol is significant because as you can see there are three overlapping ellipses, this means to the company that they unify the hearts of the customers and the Toyota product.A little background that most people don’t know is that when this Japanese company first started they named the company Toyoda and in 1936 they changed it to Toyota because of the renaming competition that they had. They are number 3 on the top consumer reports meaning that they have a lot of cars sold. This logo is not hard to identify just because of that reason and many more.

You can use any form of communications to identify these logos. But, I believe that visual communication is the most used to identify them.
