Mildly interesting, can you think of any more? Flame symbols on electric stoves maybe?

@culturaltutor: Have you ever noticed that the save icon is a floppy disk, even though they became obsolete twenty years ago? That's called a "skeuomorph" - when something new takes on the appearance of what it...…

I'm not sure if this exactly qualifies, but I still say "roll down the windows" when talking about windows in a car. It's just ingrained.

My kids: "How the fuck do you roll down a window?"

They think:

I was just reading the cultural tutor. Pretty good information.

Thought based on the title that OP was going to say they just announced a weirdly titled Animorphs follow-up…

For the title I was expecting some cool bugs. As far as the topic goes, what’s takes on the appearance of what it replaced… maybe some of the married or divorced guys can chime in, apparently a day after marriage, some spouses change. Any way, here’s a cool bug face.

Bring on neumorphism! I'm so tired of the complete flatness nowadays.

neumorph is a gimmick and fad.

Please don't

Will not enter thread again because someone will post some other insect close up. Wouldn't be GAF otherwise.

So again, thanks OP, cool to know!

Love me a bit of skeuomorphism, I do.

Windows Aero is one of my favourite. Nokia's and Sony's (Sony Ericsson's) were also. Nokia had a labs app that added bubbles with apps of your choice in that you could drag to open. Nintendo were up there too, especially with the Wii U. I was never a fan of Apple's skeuomorphism; it always felt like they were going too hard towards the realism side.

I believe that it became known as Frutiger Aero. I really liked the plants/vines/flowers in that style and tried to draw some myself. I failed.
