Quickly post revised icons before Elon Musk fires all responsible employees on Twitter – the design team could have done similarly. In any case, they created a new look for the symbols, almost indistinguishable from the old one.
All icons on Twitter are now bold and a little more bulbous. The aviary, for example, no longer narrows down, but is straight. The heart is no longer elongated, but rounded and the letter also seems more voluminous. However, a tweet reads: “We are so excited to share this with you.”
Of course, many important principles were observed during the design: the signs should be understandable around the world, directly recognizable, authentic, because on Twitter you never try to be like someone else. Scalability played a role, as did the harmony between symbols and timeliness.
The new icons should be available everywhere in the next few days.
The internet is full of hot IT news and outdated PR0n. In between there are always gems that are too good for / dev / null.
