Has this designer never seen an actual clock?
- LASR 7y agoWhat?
- e1ven 7y agoWhat's your objection? It has 12 evenly distributed lines, which are commonly used to represent the numbers on an analog clock. It has an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand. The only thing I can see that seems even a little off is that the hour hand seems slightly past the 1 mark, whereas the minute hand being on ~54 suggests it might want to be slightly before. It seems very clock-like to me.. What gives you such a visceral reaction to it?
- nstart 7y agoOnly looking at this because I saw this reply. I don't have a visceral reaction to it, but I do believe that the design of the clock is rather ambiguous. From my perspective, the minute hand is actually at ~24 hence the hour hand being a little past 1. Given that it's so easy to mix up (I had to stare at it to be sure), I'm guessing the parent commenter got frustrated with it. ️
- e1ven 7y agoGood point. I always learned to read it as the longest hand being the seconds, but your way works too. Thanks!
- aquabeagle 7y agoMy objection was the second hand extending completely beyond the outer ring of the clock.
