I’m confused, did they reverse the icons in this image? The photorealistic ink pot is the worst one easily, while the pencil ones are much more iconic (in all senses of the word).

The ink pot was way easier to tell apart from the other icons than the generic rounded squares.

This joke probably hits differently depending on your perspective and opinion on graphic design for UI.

But yeah the icons changed over time from the inkpot on the far right to the flat one on the left, so the joke is that over time they got worse not better.
