Episode 133: Visual Alphabets - Nautical Flags and American Sign Language

Signs, signs. Everywhere a sign. Today we’re going to be talking about a couple of colorful visual alphabets. Not typefaces, but the kinds of alphabets that are their own languages. Created to solve specific problems, one works face-to-face and the other from a distance. So give the high sign to the bartender and order up a couple of Ocean Breezes. We’re bringing you the histories of American Sign Language and nautical flags back here in the bar. - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-133-visual-alphabets - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: Nautical Flags American Sign Language - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?
