Russian term or phrase: словографика
Hi I need help translating a term that seams to be coined by one Russian company.
As the company exlains:
Словографика – это отображение идеи, высказывания, информации в одном емком образе.

Подробнее здесь: http://goo.gl/zPo1o7.

It would be great to coin a creative term -- since the original one is quite off the wall -- and besides Wordographic.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks.

(who needs) 1000 words
Explanation:
... when there is a picture
I thought of a few short and potentially "punchy" phrases such as word2pic, picoidea, picsay, imageexpress, etc. but they seem to be all taken as they are coming up on Google search a lot.
My version references the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words", however I am not sure I made a good use of it here

infographic


Explanation:
I'd need a bit more context/information, but it sounds like the common term "infographic" (just google it to find examples).

Asker: Thanks a lot! But it would work in a different context maybe -- as you can see on the website I mentioned, they have already a separate section dedicated to infographics :/

agree  The Misha: Not that I ever heard it used, but it sounds about right. Blessedly, in English we don't need a label for every goddamn little thing that is out there. I say we keep it this way.

My take is that "слово" in "словографики" does mean "word".

4 out of 5 словографик at http://edfold-media.ru/service/slovografika/ do have words in them.

Asker: Thanks a lot! I wanted to choose this answer as the best but it implies the presense of some "word" -- they have "словографики" that do not have any word in them.
