Information Symbol



I saw this symbol outside the train station at Leeds, where the information part is. There, you can obviously find out general info about the city and also get student bus passes etc. I think that this symbol is recognisable to most people, that it means information. If you have just arrived new into a city and are walking out of the train station you will be looking for something to tell you where to go or what to do. I think that this is the symbol you want to find.

The white ‘i’ symbol on a blue background has become internationally recognized as that of information. Even in places like Japan, the use of the letter ‘i’ is apparent and people know what it means. I think this is especially useful for visitors who do not understand the Japanese language, which they would find confusing.
