Hi All, especially Christoph and Ivan (my website refresh buddies),
My attention has just been drawn to this site/icon that is supposed to
be the cure to the never-ending search for a solution to flags vs.
globe, etc to signify a provided choice of languages.
http://www.languageicon.org/
http://www.languageicon.org/examples.php
I would not have intuitively recognized this icon as having anything to
do with languages (it is supposed to symbolize a tongue in a mouth, so
why isn't it round-shaped?. Hmm), but I think a movement to get a
universal icon is basically a good idea.
Have you ever come across this icon anywhere?
I did a brief search but did not find it used on a coin collectors site
where it supposedly had been adopted.

What do you all think of such an icon? I'm certainly not saying we
should use it (esp if it is completely unknown and possibly non-intuitive).
I've set the "Reply to" to the UX list because I see this as a usability
thing, but I wrote to both Website and UX because both teams might be as
curious as me about this language icon idea.
