The IconSpeak T-shirts are an ideal travel companion for consumers heading off to parts of the world where they do not speak the language and an exchange of information might be difficult to do. The shirt features a variety of symbols for many popular travelling terms and activities such as dining, hotels and more. Wearers can simply point to the different symbols to convey to locales what they are looking to find.
The shirts provide an alternative to verbal communication by allowing travellers to rely on visuals to convey what they are seeking. The IconSpeak shirts contain 40 different icons that depict types of weather, transportation and communication methods so wearers can simply point to one or several to find what they need. For example, if someone is looking for spicy food they can point to the fire and the dining icon.
