No One Has Been Able To Guess All The Countries In These Visual Wordplays – Can You Be The First?
Bahrain-based art director Faraz Manzoor has come up with an interesting project that features names of countries visualized as icons + letters. The phonetic pronunciation of the icons combined with a few letters of the country name completes the riddle.
This clever technique is known as a rebus, where pictures, symbols, and letters are used to phonetically or visually represent words or phrases, challenging viewers to decode their meaning.
For example, the letters TUR + a key icon = TURKEY. The fin of a shark + LAND = Finland. A bell icon + GIUM = Belgium. Faraz used AdobeIllustrator to create these typo-icons. Check out the project below. How many can you guess correctly?
