Ever had problems making an icon to represent "a user"? Don't know if you want a silhouette of a woman or a man? And what about hairstyles? And beards? And clothing?
We feel your pain, and that's why we created the purrson icon. Let's establish a new standard icon for "user"—one that's culturally accepted in any situation, everywhere.
Here's a more detailed write up and some screenshots of it in action: https://medium.com/@thomasfuchs/let-s-fix-the-user-icon-f70d6cf5353b
(Yes, it's a cat. That's not weirder than a floppy disk for "save", is it?)
Feel free to use, remix and create variations of it.
Enjoy! Amy Hoy and Thomas Fuchs
