Isotypes has had such a great effect on modern times. Modern isotypes and symbols are used everywhere you look. The most well known place is the bathroom sign. Something so simple can be sophisticated in communication and overall design. Life would not move quite as smoothly without the use of symbols and isotyopes. A new alphabet a whole new language. Early swiss design only strengthend what was already going on in the Bauhaus. It populirized it so it really took the world for storm. This is it this is whats new, so many influential designers have come from that time. Such as Paul rand for example. Where would we be without Pual Rand and Helvetica?
