Visual Cue
A visual cue is a signal and reminder of something; aiming to be self–explanatory, it brings to mind knowledge from previous experiences providing a framework for its own interpretation.
Through pictogrammes visual cues have a long history and are used to smoothen and standardize almost every kind of communication today.
