It’s a bit surprising that we don’t use pets in icons and app names as much given how much people love them.
The other one I remember was Fetch, an FTP application with a dog. Transmit tiny truck icon was also cute. Icons were more creative back then.
- jwells89 3y agoMore creative, and more whimsical. Modern icons are in comparison quite sterile.
- pb060 3y agoModern icons are mostly useless. I remember old apple design guidelines recommending to design icons with recognizable shapes. iPhone icons are all square making impossible to identify the right one at a first glance. Same for the MacOS dock.
- notbeuller 3y agoI know now that it’s a dog (the fetch icon), but I thought it was a koala for more than 20 years!
