I am seeking information and research done on "Communication through
Visual Iconographics".  Specifically, I am interested in studies that
have conducted cased studies and have identified the principles of
universally recognizable graphic icons (i.e., graphics and pictures
that communicate across cultures, languages).

Hello sosobob--

I have carefully considered your question, researched your request,
and have your answer.

To conduct this research, I made sure I understood exactly what you
were referring to by visual iconographics and visual iconography. I
had heard this term used once before and researching this subject was
very interesting to me.

First, I conducted a Google search for the following terms: "visual iconography"

You may view the results of my search online. The link is
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22visual+iconography%22

Once I thoroughly understood that visual iconography is defined as
"The set of symbols and allusions that gives meaning to a complex work
of art," I was able to go to work on your request.

By the way, if you happen to need the definition of this term, you may
view it online. The link is
http://lms.thomsonelearning.com/hbcp/glossary/glossary.taf?gid=24&start=i

To look for information, research, studies, and white papers written
on this subject, I conducted a search of a variety of study and white
paper databases I have access to. For your information, my favorite
database to use with this regard is the EBSCO Host Research Database.
You may access this database online, but need a user name and password
to search the database. The link to this database is
http://www.ebsco.com/home/

I conducted a thorough bibliography search for you and have found
many, many sources for you. I will list each source below. You may
view the full text of most of these papers online. However, this link
will only be available to you for seven days. (Let me know if you have
any problems with it.) The link is
http://www.consumerwars.com/iconography

Another point of note: Not all of these sources provided links to me
for the full text of these papers. So on the above site, you will only
find the full text of most of the articles - not all. If you need help
locating the full text of articles that aren't listed on the site,
please let me know and I can point you in the right direction.
