The original font used there has right angles everywhere, so the K was either unrecognizable (in one variant) or looked like a swastika (in another one). So I toned this down without deviating too much from the overall concept by introducing the 45 degree diagonal. On that display, 45 degrees tend to work pretty well, but any other angle is almost impossible to get right. For example, look at the bold warning triangle in the 2nd row of http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/icons-montage.png But as the little flash symbols at the bottom show, even 45 degrees sometimes don't always look entirely right. > P.S.: Note that the L and the O could make an interesting open lock as > well, at the expense of legibility maybe. Heh, indeed. But with the padlock jumping and twisting in the process, I'm not sure that would be very intuitive, even if it would be not too inaccurate a metaphor for what happens with all the cryptography :) - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
