Future icons

    future icons

    Once I came across an entertaining post dedicated to the future of logos. The authors tried to look into the future and imagine what famous brands will look like in a few years.

    Inspired by the post, I thought it would be interesting to make my own evolution of the icons. A huge number of variants of the future of our world have been invented by science fiction writers, and it is likely that all of them will come true one way or another.

    I could only take a few scenic scenarios, set a chronology and render.
    Initially, I had Napoleonic plans: to take the most characteristic OS icons and track their development, say, five hundred years ahead. Along the way, I realized that, firstly, a bunch of icons in the course of time will simply disappear, and some simply will not find analogues in all the fantastic versions of reality, and secondly, then there will be a lot of icons and, taking into account free time, it will take about a year to create them.

    PS I looked at the last posts in the iconoscase and could not resist - I also drew my own version of the icons of popular services. I think that designers undeservedly pay a lot of attention to squares (rounded or not), and forget that there are other equally beautiful figures, for example irregular hexagons. Let’s increase the number of angles, increase geometricity, long live the diversity)))

    Generally, frankly, it was a banter)) It seemed funny to me that people were so clinged to these long-suffering icons, so I wanted to show that in the world there are various shapes, gradients and shadows :) I
