On la voit fleurir un peu partout, mais il semble que nous soyons assez peu aujourd’hui à en connaître le sens et à exploiter la technologie qu’elle propose. Retour sur la genèse, les handicaps et l’étonnante prolifération de la feed icon ou icone de syndication de contenu web, parfois nommée “icone RSS”. Billet posté initialement le 8 janvier 2009 sur mon précédent blog. Deux courbes semblent émaner d’un point, telles des ondes.

Know Your Icons Part 1 – A Brief History of Computer Icons

As with great works of art, you must look into the past to appreciate the future. With roots as far back as the 1970′s, the humble icon has come a long way. Following is a collection of icons though history. Although there have been many other operating systems in the time between 1981 – 2010, I’ve hand picked the ones of the most significance to modern icon design. These designs show just a small fraction of the icons in the many and varied User Interfaces throughout the years. To learn more about the history of User Interface Design you can find a comprehensive article on the subject on Wikipedia.

The New Firefox Icon « Alex Faaborg

https://blog.mozilla.org/faaborg/2009/06/18/the-new-firefox-icon/ Later this week we will be shipping the first Release Candidate build of Firefox 3.5, which is currently in the process of being evaluated by our exceptional QA team and testing community. This also means that we are now ready to finalize the design of the new Firefox icon. I want to thank everyone who provided feedback on the icon during the design process. But more importantly I want to thank the new icon’s creator Anthony Piraino from the Iconfactory . He did a great job with the design work, he very quickly adapted iterations as we changed our direction and sent feedback, and he wasn’t the slightest bit fazed by a completely transparent process that designers often find to be a bit uncomfortable. The updated Firefox icon is based on sketches and conceptual artwork by Jon Hicks and Stephen Horlander.
