Looks like chemistry.
I’ve read some of the comments that people have written about the new icons and I can’t believe how emotional people are about the subject. I have both Photoshop CS3 and Acrobat 8 and their icons look reasonable in the dock. In this day and age, replacing icons with ones found on the net is ridiculously simple. Not only that, but it’s not like the demographic is unable to make their own. If you have the icons, then clearly you have the tools in your possession to make exactly what you want.
I’m actually a big icon fan but I still don’t see what the fuss is about.
As for Photoshop CS3 itself, MAN IT”S FAST. My love of the MacBook Pro grows by the minute.
InDesign is magenta and Illustrator is orange because those were the dominant colors of their previous icons, would be my guess.
I must be the only one who likes the new icons. Bloggers are saying they break key design rules, but I always found the old ones confusing. These are much clearer.
Is there an unwritten law that states icons have to be different with each release? It would seem simple enough to put a number on one corner of the icon to indicate it’s a different version.
Contributor Steve Werner recently compared the new branding to the standard periodic table of the elements. He discovered several parallels:
Br = Bridge = bromine
Co = Contribute = cobalt
Fm = Framemaker = fermium
Lr (or LR) = Lightroom = lawrencium
Pm = Pagemaker = promethium
Pr = Presenter [I'm guessing] = praseodymium
Rh (or RH) = RoboHelp [I'm guessing] = rhodium
Sb = SoundBooth = antimony
Amusing. Thank you, Steve!
