This is a great initiative. Not only in your versions do the emblems catch the eye, but their purpose is a lot more easy to understand. Like, who would've said that the thingie that looks like a lopsided pressure cooker, or maybe a sweater for a matchstick drawing actually pretends being a box. As for the paintbrush, for the life of me I would've never guessed it was not a rocket and some meteorites.
We should better stop trying to be hip and start designing meaningful icons, that are culturally transportable. kriekounet escribió: > Hi, > > With the last Ubuntu release, Human icons have been enhanced with new > emblems which are really nice.
