I still remember the anecdote of Adobe whose Photoshop did not sell well in Japan. Why not? Because their splash screen contained an eye which was offensive to Japanese. Today I drove down the road and I saw a speed camera sign (which UK is full of) and realized it is a symbol of an very old Brownie camera. It maybe does not even look like camera to today’s standards. And I was wondering what would such image mean to generations to come. Their cameras won’t look similar to the one on a photo (design sheets from DFT).
