In contemporary English, a variety of terms may be used to denote using pictures in place of words when communicating. Perhaps the most proper (and certainly one of the most succinct) would be 'rebus'; however, other expressive terms may include 'picture-language,' 'image-based communication,' 'hieroglyphics,' and 'graphic-speak.'
