Summary/Abstract: In info-graphics and related fields images of reduced form are commonly used. Those types of images, with rare exceptions, usually called simple or simplified. Such widely disseminated reduction of the term often brings confusion to the research and misunderstanding in materials, related to pictorial and visual theme. Below we will try to improve the situation with the terminology, examined the specificity of such visual phenomenon as droodles and offering yet another term, seems to be more suitable for the images, noted above.
