This may be more a GQ sort of question, but I need a good website for looking up what various international symbols mean. My employers seem to think I know everything to which I reply,“No, I just know a website where people who collectively know everything hang out.” Any suggestions for a good, quick reference website so I can keep my reputation?
Thanks, as always,
CJ
Starting point might be symbols.com - kind of obvious, but I’ve found that one quite useful.
In your OP, you suggest you are looking for business symbols. If that’s the case, the the US Trademark cite might help. It’s reall easy to use. http://www.uspto.gov/main/trademarks.htm
The British version is also accessible, but I don’t find it as easy to use.’
So, if the company trademarked their symbol in the US, you may be able to find it.
Thanks, both of you. The specific symbol I was wondering about is an exclamation point inside an equilateral triangle. I’m afraid none of the meanings I found on symbols.com suited it, but as luck would have it, one of our customers asked us to use that symbol on some packaging and explained what it meant – “please see enclosed instructions”. Samclem, I’ll add your link to my list of useful websites when I get back to work on Monday, if I can remember to look up this thread.
