Icon Design Explanation<\/h2>\r\nIcon designs are small pictures that represent an object or program. Icons are simple images used in context to communicate something. They are very useful in applications that use windows because with the click of a mouse button you can shrink an entire window into a small icon. They are easily recognizable and easy to remember. Icons are a major feature of graphical user interfaces. The origin of its name is interesting. It comes from the Greek \u03b5\u1f30\u03ba\u03cc\u03bd\u03b1 (\u201ceikona\u201d), meaning \u201cimage,\u201d which in turns derives from eik\u00e9nai (an infinitive), which means \u201cto be similar\u201d, \u201cto appear.\u201d The word was used first to indicate a sacred representation painted on a table. Digital icons appeared when the first GUI operating systems came out, like Macintosh and Microsoft. They were associated with programs or files, which could be opened double-clicking on the icon.\r\nHistory on Icon Design<\/h2>\r\nXerox Alto initiated the first digital icon deisgn in 1981. Xerox Alto was the first computer designed from its inception to support an operating system based on a graphical user interface (GUI), later using the desktop metaphor. In January 1983, the Macintosh came into play with the Apple Lisa, using icons designed by Susan Kare. First icons were simple and easy to recognize. It was the first time a user was dealing with a click-based operating system. In 1985, Amiga Workbench introduced colored icons. Macintosh first, Windows paved the way after, for the most used operating system in the world, that was mostly made with icons. Windows GUI system, with its icons and other elements, reigned for years, and designers from all over the world designed and created icons for the most popular operating system. Apple began to rise in the early 2000's, when Steve Jobs returned to the company. Since then, Apple design has evolved from year to year, at least in its icons. This evolution involved any kind of medium with a user interface.\r\n
