OT: Is there a term for signs that combine text and graphics?

[mike]

Is there a specific term for a sign that combines text and a graphic such as these on the Screwfix website:

for example, a Beware of the Dog sign that has also has a photo of a dog, as opposed to a purely graphical or purely text sign?

I was thinking of "ideogram" but that would be just the graphical part, wouldn't it?

Just wondering.....

People have been brainwashed by the crappy Windows user interface which labels icons with what they are generically, rather than what this specific instance is. Drives me bonkers.

(Seriously though, I expect it's something to do with not discriminating against illiterates, or non-English speakers, or somesuch.)

Mine displays a miniature version of what's in the document. And its not an add on either, although I did need to install a RAW codec for my camera before RAW files displayed as pictures.
