Modern Hieroglyphs: Binary Logic Behind the Universal “Power Symbol”
- combatentropy 9y agoI had to stop and ask myself how I learned that the power symbol means power. I can only guess that at first it was the symbol on the button that was largest. So size has meaning. Over time, I memorized the symbol. So now, the buttons can all be the same size.
- contingencies 9y agoInteresting. In modern devices people most likely learn intuitively from other factors such as the total absence of other buttons, central or uppermost placement, or from the light shining from behind it when switched on. We have been encountering the formal industrial / product design disciplines a little at http://8-food.com/ http://8-food.com/ recently and I for one am having quite an enjoyable time similarly dissecting things! :)
