minus-squareglimse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoBut how is an ink pot more recognizable than a pencil? What is ambiguous about the first icon? It’s not like it’s an abstract representation of one
minus-squareatomicbocks@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·9 months agoYou are trolling right? The orange gradient pencil shape is extremely abstract, even compared to the older icons right next to it. But the point here is that distinct shapes are easier to tell apart than rounded squares with similar simple lines.
minus-squareglimse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoAn orange cylinder with a tapered yellow/tan end? Yeah that looks like a cartoon pencil. I can tell that every other icon uses an ink pen, too. You are considering it within a set of icons and I’m only judging it on its own. If every other iPhone app looks the same then yeah I get it I think the ink pot is the best picture of the bunch but I only look at icons when they’re tiny and don’t prefer when they’re super detailed like that
