Abstract
This study shows that both icon and function label characteristics combine subtly to affect the way that individuals perceive icons. Icon users unconciously use the cues available to them: the extent to which these cues are utilised depends on the language background of the user. In order to optimise design we therefore need to know more, not only about the effects of function label characteristics, but also about how they merge with icon and user characteristics to affect usability.
