Using the 19th FINA World Championships Fukuoka 2022 as a case study, this study proposed new pictograms for use at the venue, as well as proposed improvements to JIS pictograms and a gender-neutral human figure from the perspective of universal design and social inclusion appropriate for modern international competitions. 4 design proposals per type of pictogram were created; 93 subjects were surveyed to test their understanding of and rank the design proposals. Finally, 30 design proposals for pictograms were proposed.
