- twic 6y agoSusan Kare maybe? She did the icons for the original Mac. Icons on the Mac today are distant descendants of those, and icons elsewhere have been influenced, although i couldn't quantify how much. Although Norm Cox, from this article, apparently also invented the folded corner document icon: https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/121802/why-is-the-file-icon-usually-folded-from-the-right-corner/121803 https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/121802/why-is-the-fil...
- jsmith45 6y agoYeah, seeing the folded corner in the hamburger menu article's set of icons made me think Norm Cox was probably the source of that too. Glad to hear my assumption was right.
