Abstract: This paper discusses the ideographic symbols in the context of visual communication and design.
It covers various dimensions of symbols as an expression of culture in the visual and spiritual
senses. The ideas and concepts in design are symbolized to reflect meanings as they are
experienced and observed by the users. It can be understood from the discussion that symbols
and visual expressions are examined in creative works to understand the intention of the
designers and the interpretation of the works. Principles of forms, colour, pattern and beauty
were used to interpret the symbols and influence meanings developed by the observers both
visually and spiritually.
