Interesting article about icon design

[Angelus]

I've just found this nice article about 10 of the most common mistakes in OS icon design:

So I post the link here just in case if it is useful for ROS icon designers

Intresting Article but it borders the creativität, stipulates what to do or to leave. Everyone has a different eye, each has different feelings. By requiring, or at least says, that this or that is a mistake, then set limits you simply should not put in the computer. Because via computer, everything is possible, and should remain so, which one might see the so-or the other way thus yields a variety. This should always happen in the net. Creativity !

If everyone held themselves to these rules operating systems would generally be a lot more comfortable to use! Normally I'm sceptical about articles like these but this one is actually quite solid. Good stuff!

I`d say, we should then sticky it or copy somewhere for future use.

not too much I can disagree with their, although I can't say all my icons follow all the rules, in fact I have made an icon at some stage for mail and used a post box!

I had previously seen http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997636.aspx but it is more how to make icons looklike thy belong in windowsXP rather than general good icon making
