Tangentially related: even in the redesign they manage to represent the save action using a floppy disk of all things.
I wonder whether that is ever going to change as people forget what floppys were or whether this will just be the canonical icon for save even far into the future when nobody will really know that the icon does indeed have its roots in a long forgotten real-world object.
- sharjeel 15y agoI'm perfectly OK with it. Floppy has become the standard icon for "save" action. People have learnt it while using different applications and have got used to it. Changing it would need more learning and cognitive efforts by users.
- Shorel 15y agoWhat other icon do you propose? (hint: this is much harder than it looks) (hint 2: ask Susan Kare about it)
