I'd also like to point out that some of these icons don't even make sense. A quote taken from http://asktog.com/atc/principles-of- interaction-design/ :
"The inverse of skeuomorphism is abstraction, a prominent feature in so- called flat design, a fashion that took hold in 2013, turning once well- understood icons and other elements into meaningless abstractions and even false symbols. (For example, the icon for the browser on the iPhone became a compass, only connected to the concept of the web through the vaguest of abstractions. The iPhone has an actual compass, so they turned its icon into… another compass! Two compass icons: One tells you which way is north and the other connects you to your bank account. The Settings icon had originally looked like the inner workings of a clock, clearly carrying the message that this is an app that will let you see and affect the inside workings of the iPhone. That was abstracted to the point that it looks exactly like a large industrial fan.)" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351424 Title: browser, settings and calculator icons too similar to another well known mobile O/S To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/camera-app/+bug/1351424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
