Where can I find the ASL interpreting symbol I can download?

[SIGNHEAR]

I am in the process of making new bunsiness cards and need the logo (non-copy
righted) in order to place on my business cards> Been having difficulty
finding it. Any Suggestions? etc................

According to http://www.mrac.org/resources/pdf/SignLanguageGuide.pdf (the
first hit in a Google search for "ASL interpreting symbol"):

"These symbols may be used in press releases, brochures, signs, forms, maps,
floorplans, advertisements and newsletters. To obtain electronically
generated copies of these and other symbols related to access, along with a
brochure that explains how to use the graphics effectively, send $12.95 plus
$3.50 shipping and handling to Graphics Arts Guild Foundation, 90 John
Street, Ste. 403, New York, NY 10038-3202. Specify a PC or MAC disk. You can
also download the symbols from their website at www.gag.org/das."

Unfortunately, that Web page is 404, but you could copy/paste the symbol
from the PDF document. A larger (but not necessarily higher-resolution)
version appears at
http://www.ods.ohio-state.edu/services/a-s-l-interpreting-services-for-campus-events/
(the graphic itself at
http://www.ods.ohio-state.edu/posts/images/interpreter-big.jpg). There's
another version (reverse B&W) at

It looks like they have a new page for this. From:

http://www.graphicartistsguild.org/resources/disability-access-symbols/

you can download graphic files (TIFF format) for 12 symbols, in both
"positive" and "negative" versions. That page also gives a phone number for
ordering the full set of symbols on CD.

A little confusing since the page states:

Downloading Individual Images
The downloadable files below (under 150k each) are available in both
positive (black on a white background) or negative (white on a black
background.) Each is in an uncompressed TIF format. The icons shown below
are the "positive" examples. Clicking on the appropriate text link beneath
each image starts the download.

Yet there is no text link beneath any of the images.

Yes, I noticed that too Suzanne. But the full set can be downloaded in a zip
file by clicking on "CLICK HERE", as I suspect you noticed. I didn't realize
the individual images didn't have the hyperlinks claimed in the text until
after I posted my response.

Yes, I figure the CLICK HERE will certainly suffice, but it does sorta make
you wonder how competent these people are when they first refer you to a
defunct Web page and then put up a Web page that demonstrably doesn't
function the way they claim!
