It may be true that people are more used to arrows. I have nothing against using arrows. But that doesn't mean it's the only "known metaphor". For example, most often when people install software updates anywhere, they're doing it on Windows. Windows doesn't use arrows for its updates icon. > Since updates are something that need to be a part of Software > centre, it is better to have a Software Updater icon that is a > derivative of the original Software centre icon rather than making > it look like a completely different/unrelated app. If anyone ever implements updates in USC, it will be one way of installing application updates. It will not be the only way to install any updates. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#approaches> Besides that, installing updates has nothing to do with shopping. So a Software Updater icon that looked related to shopping would have a non-sequitur problem like the current icon. Your proposal is extremely well drawn (nice job!), but unfortunately it has all three problems. It still has the "A", it still has the fake progress bar, and it looks like shopping too. :-) Cheers - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlECdtMACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecoHQgCgwM100DLZoY7tTJQJbWdtEAO/ Kc0AoJEaSndNWvMWFAgELr+YDeZiSH9B =4Nxz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
