I dunno, 'xplicit' has highly unfortunate cornortations. Type it into 
any
search engine and you know the kind of sites you'll get...

Unfortunately XPL doesn't lends itself to useful phonetics (*not* 
that I
think we should change the name).

I was thinking along the lines of visual metaphors and possibly visual
associations
e.g.
an obvious visual metaphor for a component of a system that does some 
work,
or anything that does some work, is a cog
an obvious visual association for the above would be traditional 
designer's
construction lines and shapes (such as used in typography)
1's and 0's are obvious, and hackneyed, visual associations for 
anything to
do with computers
etc., etc.
