Tbh the last one is my least favorite kind of icon design by a wide margin. It's busy and more anachronistic than a floppy disk as a save icon
I actually think I like the first one the best. I prefer simple icons with a splash of identifiable color
I'm the opposite. When all the icons are in the same style as the one on the left, they all look the fucking same to me
"okay was it the dark orange icon with a diagonal line, or the slightly darker orange one with a diagonal line going the other way?"
"okay which map application was for which company, these are both just arrows pointing right in a single color with no other identifying features"
Well now you're comparing it as part of a set of icons where homogeneity matters but that's not the fault of THIS icon.
I'm having a hard time grappling with these replies. Am I really the only one here who sees a pencil and not an abstract line?
It looks like Harold’s purple crayon if it was red more than a pencil. I like it the least of the first four, but I think all of these look fine. 5 and 6 are a little busier than I’d prefer.
