A bit embarrassed to admit, but long ago, was on a neat team that had to scale a desktop-kiosk-ATM-type app to web app, primarily for Seniors, and it used almost exclusively icons (and selectable graphics which had very modest rollover state). It worked but was very limited per features/functions. Was bought by some US banking systems as ramp up for senior-customers and was promoted at the bank teller's counter. (I remember us inviting end-user/volunteers for on-going studies, by asking those veteran customers who commented on the ad-promo). One nice aspect . . . the DOM was quite W3C "1.0" accessible.
