Overview

We believe that communication and visual languages are important in this vision. We all use emojis, GIFs, and many other visual communication forms in our daily lives already. Our mission is to create the world's first fully functioning language based on visual icons and use it across all major social media channels.

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, and Komunikon is the association behind the project. We're ambitious and open-minded. Please let us know if you think you can positively contribute to our mission and are ready to take action. Check our website here, www.komunikon.com, for current openings and ongoing projects.

About us

We're a team of over 20 volunteers working across multiple disciplines, from linguistics to design, from business development and marketing to product development. We are open and respectful, and work remotely and mostly asynchronously. Accountability is key for us, and so is teamwork.
