A chap called Chris emailed me this afternoon with a new icon that he’s proposing as an industry standard ‘mobile’ icon. I like the concept of it.
Just as there’s an industry standard RSS feed icon, Chris reckons there should be one for mobile web.
He’ll have a site up soon with more perspective and when he does, I’ll publish it here.
ha! It looks a lot like our logo:
ah I see, your blog disallows image embeds. Logo here: http://www.al4ie.com/images/mblogofav.jpg
The Mobile/WAP icon is derived from the RSS Icon and the W3C Mobile Web Initiative website http://www.w3.org/Mobile/ …
The W3C graphic reminds of the WAP icon, which can still be found at osnews.com
Stay tuned!
I won’t be able to properly launch the icon any time soon because of work and I’ll have no internet for the next 3 weeks.
I have a lot to say about .mobi and the industry that promoted it. Towards the end of July I’ll have a personal site to share my views along with a site dedicated to the icon.
In the meantime, feel free to use the icon or create your own.
The web needs a standard mobile icon and I doubt the “mobile leaders” will support such a moral cause.
Sorry about the delay,
Chris
