About the Job
Overview
We believe in the importance of communication, and visual languages are part of this vision. Emojis, GIFs, and many other visual forms of communication are already integral to our daily lives. Our mission is to create the world's first fully functioning language based on visual icons across all major social media channels.
We're a team of linguists, technologists, and designers passionate about 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, and we welcome those who can positively contribute to our mission and are ready to take action. Check our website at www.komunikon.com for ongoing projects.
