The data used in this study is 20 visual (stickers) and verbal (texts), in which sticker is the main data meanwhile text is used as supporting data. The source of the data in this study is LINE Messenger. The data was then analyzed by using semiotic theory with a trichotomy model proposed by Charles Sanders Peirce. The results of the analysis show that every sticker contains qualisign aspects such as colors, gestures, etc., but not every meaning contain in the sticker is affected by their quality.
