Overview

We believe in the importance of communication and visual languages are part of this vision. We all use emojis, gifs, and many other visual communication forms in our daily life already. Our mission is to create the world’s first fully functioning language based on icons to improve written communication adding visual meanings.

We’re a team of linguists, technologists, and designers passionate about the potential of making communication simple, direct, and impactful.

IKON is the name of the language, KomunIKON is the association behind the project. We’re ambitious and open-minded, reach out if you believe you can positively contribute to our mission and are ready to take action. Check our website here www.komunikon.com to know more about the project.
