What is that puzzle called?

I want to know what is the name of this type of puzzle. It has pictures that supposedly represent a word(s)/phrase. I've seen some of them under Mickey's beer bottle caps. Anybody have an idea what this type of puzzle is called. Thanks in advance.

    It's called Rebus Puzzle. They are essentially little pictures, often made with letters and words, which cryptically represent a word, phrase, or saying. Ex: GIVE GIVE GIVE GIVE GET GET GET GET answer: Forgive and forget. More info on this on the site below.

    I think that's a rebus, but not in the traditional sense. When I think rebus I think of the old game show concentration. Where a rebus was a group of pictures like... (an olive) + R (a tornado) - R Oliver Twist
