I am working on a booklet that will be distributed throughout the US and
Europe and wondered if there is a universal symbol that could be used to
indicate open/lift. I have numerous examples in my design arsenal
(arrows, etc.) but wanted to see if there are other options I may be
overlooking.

 

This booklet will be sealed with an adhesive device (sort of like a
wafer seal) that will allow the user to pull up on an area of the seal
that is not adhered (a circle) in order to then pull through the entire
seal and open the booklet. It is on the circle that we would like to
provide some instruction.

 

We would like to use a graphic device instead of type so that
translation does not become problematic.

 

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Regards,

Ken
