What makes an icon iconic?

In this first of an article series, Dr Greig explores some of the issues relevant to presenting information, beginning with iconography.

Anaesthetic room walls are often covered with various posters and warnings reminding staff about recent incidents or safety hazards. Signs prompt us where to find dantrolene or intralipid, or how to confirm tube placement.
