I vote for a megaphone of some type
- lominming 12y agoThat's an interesting idea. I vaguely remember coming across such symbol somewhere to convey the idea of sharing but I cannot remember where.
- Alphasite_ 12y agoI know the colloquy icon on iOS is a megaphone.
- andrey-p 12y agoI can definitely see that working. As long as you differentiate it enough from a volume icon.

- trvrprkr 12y agoGood icon, other than it looks like an axe at smaller sizes.
- morsch 12y agoI think the modern icons are striving for a more abstract and minimalistic look. This seems to be the case for all 3 mobile OS covered. This is mostly about fashion, I guess, but an abstract icon does look less out of place in more situation. I can well imagine being slightly miffed about having to put a megaphone in my app to fit platform conventions, although I would gladly take it over that god-awful present icon WPOS7 apparently had.
- melloclello 12y agoHeck yeah, good call
- spb 12y agoOff the top of my head, UserVoice and TF2 both use a bullhorn for "Give Feedback".
- nakovet 12y agoWhat I like about the megaphone is that looks similar to what we are doing, shouting to whoever wants to hear. When you think about sharing a milkshake, you have two people sharing an experience; when you think about the open hand, looks like you are expecting someone to show up to hand over something to him or maybe begging. My feeling when I click share or retweet is like I am shooting to stars and the odds that my bullet get to a black hole are huge.
