This reminds me of a product called "kinagrams" in Neal Stephenson's Anathem. They're little animated figures used in lieu of normal languange, for things as simple as the laundry instruction marks on the tag in your shirt. They become so ubiquitous that even people who know how to read regular language don't bother to because they don't encounter any occasion where they have to. Good book.
