This clip “Fünf-Prozent-Hürde” (five percent coinsurance clause) is an animation out of a series of three clips. It explains an aspect of the election system in Germany. Together with Astrid Reinberger we made these clips for the Bundeszentrale für polische Bildung (BPB). All clips were made with help of the PICOL signs.
Two other clips, with the title “Überhangmandate” and “Erst- und Zweitstimme” which are already produced, will follow soon. If you can´t wait to see them, you can watch all clips here on the website of the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung.

The 16×16 pixel mini-icons from PICOL are ready now. It was a load of work, but I think it was worth the work. The most complicated version of the icons is done with this one. I hope you´ll like them.
Please drop me a short line, including a link, if you use them. I´m very interested in how the icons will look in your websites or apps.
Next I´ll start with the vector files in EPS format and will also make SVG versions after that.

After the presentation “Creative Commons: What every Educator needs to know” Rodd Lucier interviewed me on PICOL for the Teacher 2.0 podcast.
I´m sorry for the uhhhs and mhhhs. Normally my English is not that bad and weird
– I was a bit nervous.
Thanks to Rodd, who took the time to make this interview. I hope you like it.

Today I found this very nice presentation by Rodd Lucier, where he gives an insight into Creative Commons content and tools. He also mentions the PICOL icons – thanks for that. Have fun watching it.
