Evidence Notes.
8 Findings Published
Evidence
Primary referent: stay primary landscape.
Evidence
Implied function: The icon must communicate Stay Primary Landscape in a digital interface..
Evidence
Metaphor type: functional.
Evidence
The icon's primary referent and functional meaning clearly communicate 'Stay Primary Landscape' in digital interfaces, aligning well with its intended use as a compact symbolic control or status marker for device display orientation.
Evidence
Visual metrics indicate strong perceptual robustness, with the icon maintaining clarity under size reduction, blur, and contrast loss (Perceptual Convergence score 0.75).
Evidence
Semantic and functional convergence scores (both 0.61) show moderate confidence that users interpret the icon correctly and associate it with the intended function, though some risk of confusion with similar orientation or display setting icons remains.
Evidence
Cultural convergence is moderate (0.55), reflecting reasonable but not strong cultural recognition and association, with some semantic obsolescence and moderate convention learning load.
Evidence
Temporal convergence is the weakest axis (0.51), indicating that the icon's meaning may degrade over time without reinforcement, suggesting potential semantic decay.

[ RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS ]
What Improves This Pictogram.
Action
Conduct representative user testing across diverse user groups to validate semantic transparency and functional clarity before widespread deployment.
Action
Maintain visible text labels or tooltips alongside the icon until user testing confirms that the icon alone reliably communicates the intended 'Stay Primary Landscape' meaning.
Action
Enhance contextual cues such as placement and labeling in the interface to reduce confusion with neighboring icons representing portrait orientation or other display settings.
Action
Monitor icon comprehension over time and consider periodic updates or supplementary education to mitigate semantic decay and maintain cultural relevance.
Action
Consider accessibility improvements to address moderate color accessibility and neurocognitive transfer risk scores, ensuring the icon is usable by users with varying cognitive styles and accessibility needs.
