Design Cliches:

Speak Up...
Nice, fun article about some of the symbols that should have long ago been retired. Thank goodness.

This post is about those symbols we use … or rather, those other people use … to indicate common themes, concepts or ideas. Those symbols which have been used so often that they’ve become clichés. I warn against using them: or challenge designers to breathe new life into their rotting corpses. Welcome to the land of the living dead.
