Old News about Icons » UIE Brain Sparks
Ran across this interesting advice on Icons vs. Text while flipping through the Google Popular articles that now sits on the google reader login page (which, by the way, is a great feature! I find myself going through these every once in awhile — keeps me fresh on the memes of the day).
It’s short, but the gist? “Text + image works better than just image or just text. However, just text works better than just image.” Also: don’t move icons around and don’t make icons for concepts that are difficult to iconize.
