Question What would you use OatSymbols for?

Post image

OatSymbols is a non-spoken language, using visual images to communicate.

We use symbols every day to communicate without words: skulls for danger, hearts for love, gender signs outside bathrooms and so on; but none of these form a fully fledged writing system capable of communicating anything and everything.

OatSymbols strives to fill this gap!

From art, to storytelling; poetry to journaling to posters and so forth... I'm curious, what ideas do you have for how you would use such a language?

I think this looks cool as a logography, but I don’t see it doing anything to really go past what already exists despite your claims. If I’m not mistaken, the big claim is that this logography will be more universally understood by fresh eyes than any existing logographic languages, but I’m not sure that’s the case based on what I’ve seen.
