Standard Highway Signs 2004 Edition: School Signs
The pattern
This still is filed under Mark as compressed claim.
Define
The mark itself is the sentence: a monogram, a seal, a device that already means the claim.
Mechanism
Compression. Years of use, or a very sharp first use, load the device so it can appear without copy.
Verdict
The mark is already loaded, or we will spend to load it
Why it works
It standardizes the specific pentagonal shape and the proportions of the pictograms used for school zones to ensure nationwide consistency and recognition.
Steal this when
When specifying non-standard shapes and complex pictograms in a strict technical format.
