List of visual metaphors to use to present a business concept in a presentation slide, report or an article.
Want your presentation to be remembered longer? More eye catchy? Adding a graphical symbol builds a stronger mnemonic association in our brain.
However, some business concepts are hard to visualize. That’s why we decided to put together this list.
“These are ideas I collected over last years of presentation design practice.

Rejection, how can I you express that by one picture?
By the way, great idea this concept visualization. I will come back.
Robert, thanks for question. Glad you like our concept viz ideas. To express “rejection” I’d use e.g. sign of 2 crossed lines in a circle (as opposite to approval check tick). Or stop traffic sign. Or bounce-back arrow.
