I feel like color coding would be far more intuitive and more readily pass the "Grandpa Test" (i.e. can my grandpa figure out what to plug into where without constantly second-guessing both himself and me). A lot easier to convey "plug like color into like color" than to expect the average end-user to understand what these logos mean - especially when I can barely wrap my head around what these logos mean in practice.
- atonse 5y agoThe only issue with color is that it's more of a "greater than or equal to" situation. So you'd have to say things like "you can plug in the red plug into a blue, green, or yellow one"
- yellowapple 5y agoI was thinking just put multiple colors on the ports and/or labels.
