User-interface icons--much more than on-screen decorations--can enhance or detract from end-user productivity and an application's overall success. Here are presented strategies and methods for encoding meaning in icons, developing iconic languages and a consistent design style, using color and other design tools, representing complex, "unpicturable" concepts, and avoiding problems that can occur in translation to international markets.
