Web
Icons: ZoomView user interface
Viewpoint 2002
On the Web, documents are typically composed of
text and images, sometimes with links to audio and video content.
While user interfaces for accessing text and static 2D images are
widely used, users are not familiar with navigating a dynamic 2D image.
Viewpoint's proprietary ZoomView technology requires a set of intuitive
interface controls so users can easily interact with images.

Application
icons: Infini-D
Specular. 1995
In this case the icon gives a fair indication of
the function of the product. The infini-D application icon shows 3d
modeling as an art form ( it's on pedestal) as well a movie making
capability ( the hint of a film strip down the side).
Most applications have a range of icons for associated files used
by it. The main application icon is used as the basis for additional
designs and even folders in which Infini-D items are stored as a further
aid to recognition. |

3D tools icons, MetaFlash
Metacreations. 1999
There is not application tools consistency in
the 3D application world, each of the applications have it's own
set with little or no reference to others. By contrast the approach
taken by metacreations was to keep consitency with all the professional
3D applications, Poser, Carrara and MetaFlash trough a consistent
visual vocabulary and treatement".

Computer icons are most often of a uniform
scale 32 pixelsheight by 32 pixels width or in an area of around
1/2 inch ( 1cm) square. within this tiny space the icon must define
the type of object or fuction which it refers and make the image
distictive and different enought from other icon fro competing applications.
