Looks good - and I like the original design too. The artist was, once again, Maria Carmela Colaneri - but while some of her other works look very full, this one actually leaves some "air" ...

You've fixed it up nicely, Frizio. I hope the real thing looks as good. I agree that this is a good design, modern, stylish but accessible.

I wonder whether those characters could actually be read by blind people. Maybe too small?

It would make no sense that they conmemorate something about Braille and blind people can't read it.

this is NOT my design, only graphic interpretation of the official draw from IPZS.. !!!

my right idea latest is this..

for me important is:

stars in big relieve and text big dimension for blind people.

Yep, in order to work as "tactile" characters (so that a blind could read them), the dots would have to be bigger. Of course the official design, with the fingers reading a book, makes Braille's concept easily understandable. Besides, I have read that (at least in Germany) only 15 to 20 percent of the blind can actually read Braille. But I think the combination of his name and larger Braille characters, as in Frizio's own design, would be understood by pretty much everyone ...
