On Thursday I posted about the challenge in understanding the icons on clothing care tags… I continue that discussion with more symbols.

Kijkwijzer is a rating system in the Netherlands which provides parents with an age recommendation for television programs, theater movies and film rentals.

Age Ranges

- Not harmful, All Ages

- Watch out for children under 6

- Watch out for children under 12

- Watch out for children under 16

There are also a series of clearly to understand pictograms providing context for the rating.

Pictograms

- Violence

- Fear

- Sex

- Discrimination

- Drugs and/or Alcohol Abuse

- Coarse Language

These icons make the selection of movies based on content pretty clear.

The Dutch word for the number two (2) is “twee” that’s why this is entitled “part twee.”
