[Touch-packages] [Bug 1351424] Re: browser, settings and calculator icons too similar to another well known mobile O/S
Confirmed for the Calculator, where the only differences are brown and grey swapped and a light drop shadow. But the Browser, Camera, and System Settings icons all look very different to me. The Browser icon may include a compass, but that's a problem of confusion (as Sam Bull cites), not of visual similarity. It has a very different color, depth, markings, and background. ** Changed in: ubuntu-calculator-app Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351424 Title: browser, settings and calculator icons too similar to another well known mobile O/S Status in Camera App: New Status in Calculator application for Ubuntu devices: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: New Status in Web Browser App: New Status in “ubuntu-system-settings” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The browser and system settings icons in image #165 looks extremely similar in both content and colour to another well-known mobile operating system.

I'd also like to point out that some of these icons don't even make sense.

... Same applies to the calculator and the camera.
