Iconography vs photos #7

Closed axrez closed 7 months ago

What kind of experience does caretakers have with iconography? We could imagine different cultures respond differently to the same icons. Have you thought about using images instead?

That's an interesting topic but we haven't thought about using images. We don't have a male/female icon (the mars and venus symbol) and no red/blue for girls/boys because of such considerations. The icons we have so far seem to be OK. We have RTL-languaes eg. hebrew and arabic but don't flip the menu and icons to the other side, that's fine for them.
