The purpose of this study is to apply the Axiomatic Design method for evaluating the design of these icons. It was hypothesized that the icons will have better recognition rate if it is designed according to the axiom in the Axiomatic Design method. Results showed that a significant difference in recognition rate was found between the original icons and redesigned icons. Furthermore, the subjects found it was easier to understand the meaning of redesigned icons. In the experiment, if the operation procedure instruction was provided to the subjects, it could significantly help them to recognize the original icons. However, this effect was not significant when subjects interacted with redesigned icons. That is, an interaction effect was found between the redesign and the support of instruction. The findings of this study can apply to other icon designs for biometric systems.
