Why Most Travel Icons are a Bit Soppy
When did it become a rule that icons must be corny, hack, cheesy, and soppy? Travel icons especially bother me…you always get the 1980′s camera, the standard desk globe, palm tree is a staple in most icon sets, and the classic suitcase style luggage that no one has used since as long as I can remember. I think travel icons should be more truthful…represent the realty travelers face today. And perhaps not so kid-friendly.
As you can tell I’m disappointed by the cheeriness represented in these standard travel icons found EVERYWHERE…so I’ve decided to develop/create my own travel icons. Perhaps more truthful PG-13 rated travel icons. I will be making them available for download in time to come. For instructions on installing on PC, click here. For mac, click here.
And of course you know I just had to create an IzunoTravel.com icon to get things rolling.
I’ll be spending some time this weekend coming up with a pretty good set I hope, so check back Monday.
