I don't know what 'dia' means. My opinion is that we should not worry about them being all the same or all unique. If the product's default perspective is landscape I did landscape, vice versa if its default if portrait I did portrait.
When we go circle we gain space for the application picture, we also gain "circle" branding. Vice versa, when its square we loose circle branding but can gain gull branding, loosing space though for gull. Also putting the gull in the circle but not in one of the two places make it looks wrong when icon is compared to official logo. When I open documents I see a blank page (preferably with paragraphs). When I open spreadsheets I see cells. When I open presentations, I see bullets and a title. When I open draw, my first experience was clicking rectangle and placing it down on the canvas. When I think formulas, I think Sum (Sigma). When I think database. I think f*** how am I going to represent that? That's the important part, think how a (slow) user would think. Familiarity. Pretty comes second. On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 8:17 AM, Armin Le Grand <armin.le.gr...@me.com>wrote: > Hi Samer, > > nice stuff!
