you don't need to design me a label, but if i ever get something going in that regard i will look to use and abuse your skills. I was just posing a question. If icon/symbol(s) are important it certainly is only true in some contexts. Many thanks to you sir.

Icons are unimportant. Symbols are important

There are cultures that shun icons. Symbols, as far as I know, are how everybody communicates ideas. Particularly new ones. Very important. For example, I dunno, to say a cow is a horse with an udder gives meaning to what a cow is, to someone who has no idea. This is a metaphorical symbol. The whole sentence was just a bunch of symbols that only have the meaning the audience, in this case a reader, gives it. It's not perfect but it's what we have.
