Subject: What is that "Articles" icon?
Every time I click on the "articles" link I think "what IS that icon?" It looks like a square-ish blue insect to me (legs coming out the left side).

I design user interfaces for a living so I tend to fixate on stuff like this. It doesn't quite look like a printer to me...the only other thing I could think of beside a blue insect.

(And I don't mean to make fun...I love this site...I'm just curious.)

How funny - I never noticed that before.

Some sort of car part?

What does that involve, designing user interfaces? Does that mean you create the "look" for something? Is it software you work on? Sounds like it's pretty interesting.

Oh yeah, the spider box does look weird

oh my god...i was beginning to wonder if ever anybody would realize that that icon...has nothing to do with articles...in fact...i still have no idea what its supposed to be...

hehe

i was stumped when it came to an 'articles' button...i had no icon to replace it...and i'm not good with creating graphics from scratch...maybe i will work on it somemore.

Well there is nothing wrong with it. It's just different. I think that you should not worry about it and call it "unique"

Yes, I do work on software (web-based services as well). I'm focused more on how the interaction works for the user and then work with graphic designers to create the "look." And, Ron, I wouldn't worry about the icon either... I am sure very few people give it a second thought. I've been spending more time in articles recently and I was just curious.
