May 25, 2015 at 11:40 comment added Walter Examples of rebus'. (1) Three rebus-style "escort cards" from the 1860s or 1870s - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebus#/media/… or (2) a German rebus from ca. 1620 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebus#/media/…
May 25, 2015 at 11:37 comment added Walter @KateGregory - appreciate the comment, however, I do think this is still a rebus. From wikipedia: "A rebus is an allusional device that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words."
May 25, 2015 at 11:33 comment added Kate Gregory I think it's slightly stretching the definition to call these puzzles "rebus". There are no positional clues where something is in/above/under something else. The symbols are immediately recognizable - the only challenge here is whether the last one is child or kid, and after pronouncing the first three, that gets settled quickly. While movie titles are somewhat constrained grammatically, making your job harder, I would like to see these be more rebus-y.
