Good one, I like that.grotesk_neue - but it's racist. SJWs will be triggeredGnash

- Gets my vote too.Bilious_Fog
- not good for universal use because it has a specific emotion. this share button on a cancer research website?mekk
- Cancer patients can be happy too. I see what you mean but I think it's Dar too specific an issue. It could use some work to look like talking rather than...set
- ...smiling, though.set
- You might have to have "share" written next to it for awhile before it becomes used regularly.monospaced
- lol, ITS NOT SHAREset
- my badmonospaced

- i don't see it.
it's a smile in a knocked out circle. the mouth does not indicate much else but a smile.bklyndroobeki - It's a chat bubble. Implies communication.monospaced

- speaks more to save than share... heart implies personal? kinda like an instagram like. I do like the icon a lot.monospaced
- I see what you mean. In a sense you are saving them though if you follow/like them on a social platform. It's showing an interest and keeping tabset
- Can't believe you're still stuck to this. This screams "I just got my heart checked at the health clinic". Way too medical.iCanHazQBN
- I don't think heart is the best symbol for social mediareanimate
- Anyway would it be problematic to use an icon that no one knows the meaning of?reanimate
- Most commonly used icons have taken years for the public to learn the meaningreanimate

- This is from a discussion we had here at the office about this a few months ago. We came up with paws for "follow", smiley faces etcset
- Favorites. For social maybe a soap box and megaphone would work?kona
- I like the icon though. It's clever.kona
- What about a heart in a profile user icon? Social media is about people and reaching their emotionspinkfloyd
- Looks like a Health or Heart Check icon. Like some diabetes program or whatever. Too health related, not very social at all.iCanHazQBN
- Heart is too much linked to other things. Love, Health, etc. Share wouldn't work I think.grotesk_neue
- It's not share, that's the whole point... Bit I agree the heart should be scrappedset
- omg3
- Δomg
- the triangle is a universal iconomg
- yeah, but a triangle doesn’t stand for anything specific. It stands for delta in sciences and can mean a variety of things there depending on the field...pressplay

- Um, we don't get icons from math Mr Spock. Try againqoob
- Of course icons come from math. Are you slow or something?reanimate

- yeah, but needs more dung.docpoz
- We know it, but I think it'd be a massive stretch to say everyone knows it.Nathan_Adams
- You're totally missing the point. This is a share icon, to share a specific page or content. We're talking about a generic social media icon...set
- This opens up a list of platforms you can share the content on. Im talking about an icon that opens up a list of platforms you can view their profile on.set
- Two very different things. One already has an icon, the one you posted, the other doesn't...set

Further to my highly cynical post, this is a thread full of designers so why don't we create one? There's clearly not a go-to answer for it...

- Sorry, I just looked at the pictures!MrT

Apologies if I wasn't clear enough..
The act of sharing a specific peice of content and the act of being taken to a social media profile page are two totally different things.
'Share this content and click here to choose your social platform to share it on' already has a universal icon.
'Click here to choose your social platform to follow us on' does not have a universal icon.

- So what? Looks completely different.qoob
- Also not even there real logoqoob
- It's not their official logo, correct, but it's the logo most are familiar with. It's the one they use all over food packaging in the US.iCanHazQBN
- I didn't even know what their official logo was until I looked it up one minute ago.iCanHazQBN
- But this is the icon people associate with the AHA.iCanHazQBN
- Any ideas iCuntHaz?set
- LOL. You post work asking for thoughts. Then someone gives an objectively critical and legitimate opinion that you don't agree with.... so you call them a cunt.iCanHazQBN
- You're a headcase. I don't know how anyone could stand to be around you if you're anything like this in real life.iCanHazQBN
- lol calm down. I asked if you had any ideas yourself rather than simply shooting down others? Why are you talking about my company? Hahahaset
- Sensitive little flowerset
- You took constructive criticism as "shooting you down", then called someone a cunt for it. Go get mental help, son.iCanHazQBN
- ...sounds like your the sensitive one who can't take an drop of criticism.iCanHazQBN
- Do you call your clients "cunts" when they object to one of your design concepts and then storm out like a child?iCanHazQBN
- lol you having a nice day? I call everyone a cunt. Relaxset
- I never said I disagreed with you anyway, haha, I don't.set
- We'll scrap the heart you big touchy cuntset
- I think it's passable. As long as you don't use the same colour or style of illustration. Most people recognize colour before shape.pango

Can you explain why this is needed?
It's an icon for social media profiles, not sharing, I get that.
We have icons for all the social media sites. Are you suggesting one clickable icon that takes you to another page that lists all the company's social media sites? Isn't that kind of tedious? Isn't it just faster to have the 3-4 social media icons all together?
I'm not sure what function it would serve.
- A 'Share this' style icon and function for a 'Follow me'. Either as a slide out/popup on rollover. Both are pointless.monoboy
- I've explained probably five times now. If you still don't get it there's no hope for you.set
- No hope for me. Hear that, guys? No hope.iCanHazQBN
