I didn't even consider how compasses actually work when thinking about that logo/icon. I just saw it and it looked wrong. :)
Seems a bit counterintuitive for a logo, but I'm obviously the one that's wrong, here. Sorry!
- taeric 12y agoI can't disagree that it looked wrong, expecially since this wasn't the only thread that commented on this. However, if you were to change the needle, then it would be wrong. So, I'm not sure that there is a way out of this. Without just dropping the compass.
