Abstract
The present invention relates to a quick-recognition visual notification system for use in telephonic communication devices. Identification data, such as device ownership or the nature of the incoming communication, is communicated to and easily recognized by the owner or user of the device by utilizing the electronic circuitry of the device to assign distinct color-codes to identification data therein. The color-codes are then displayed on indicia, integral with the housing of the device, which indicates the nature of the identification data to the owner or user. Thus, the owner or user may quickly and easily identify their own telephonic communication device and the incoming communication, even at a distance away from the location of the device.
