New 'accessibility logo'

It has been confirmed today that the International Symbol of Access is to be updated, one of the changes is to remove the word "handicapped" from signs for people with disabilities and update the standard wheelchair symbol with a more active logo. You can see the old and new logos here side by side.

The famous International Symbol of Access which was designed by a Danish design student, Susanne Koefoed way back in 1968 for a design competition has been used all over the world but the update has been bought about to ask us "How we treat people with disabilities".
