I hit over 3000 Icons designed in my career over a year ago. Video Games, social media sites, and apps.

I like how much work you put into getting this right. You have to look at symbols and what they mean to the larger population and how they are going to respond. The goal of a symbol is to get them to do what they are supposed to do and not be confused by the meaning.

I think the thought you put into the size, equality and modernization are all super important to get right.

They should also be aesthetically pleasing and match the whole design.

The pressure to do these things right in the face of criticism is immense and your only really successful when nobody notices. Of course in 5 years you will need to look at them again as social norms evolve and the criticism changes.

But if you ask me that’s what makes iconography so much fun.
