Icon Diversity


I was installing a new piece of software the other day and saw something new. You always see TV commercials and movies where the cast of characters are diversified. Apparently, Hollywood would have us believe that all groups of teenages hanging out has at one member of every race and that the group be split 50/50 girls to guys. But we know better. I've been to the mall. Anyway, I had yet to see diversity displayed on my computer icons. One of the menu screens on the web interface for a new product we are using here at work is to the upper right. Clearly, those little Fisher Price wanna be's are diversified. I got a good chuckle out of the graphic. I just wonder which of those baldies are the girl ones.
