Icons from our desktops to our desks
August 4th, 2008
Used on our desktops, toolbars, web-pages and other applications, computer icons draw from real world objects and have been known to take on the form of a file folder, paint brush, speaker etc., symbols we can easily identify and associate with. Individuals even use avatars (a form of icon) to represent themselves on instant messaging programs, virtual computer games and various internet forums. Computer icons have become an important part of our visual language, so much so that these digital computer icons are making their return into the real world. There are also a number of products out on the market which have been influenced by computer hardware. From the desk to the desktop and back again. More about the topic.
