Time for Action

History shows that the shape and form of what we see and hear does work on our cognitive understanding of the world.  

Sara Hendren and Brian Glenney co-founded The Accessible Icon Project, designing the new icon with Tim Ferguson-Sauder to display an active, engaged image with the focus on the person, not just the disability.

Subtle Differences:
Original Icon - Mechanical.  Static.  The original design was developed in 1968.

New Design:  Leaning forward.  Sense of movement, self-navigation through the world.

Help us change the way disability is perceived by joining your voice with ours.  It is time to add the new accessible icon to our public spaces.   Sign our petition today.  

Accessibility Icon Makes it's Green Bay Debut

This version of the symbol is officially used in the states of New York and Connecticut and the City of Phoenix.  It is in a permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art.  There are hundreds of pictures showing the accessible icon already in use across the country.  To the right, Rick Chernick of Camera Corner/Connecting Point and Phil Flynn of Associated Bank are the first businesses to bring the icon to Green Bay in their joint parking lot off of Main Street.
