next iteration of compare icon

Hi, great effort Mezich, as usual! But spontanously, I dont like the equal (=) signs, I didn't see them as the typographical equal sign, but more as some visual symbol: Nr. 2 reminds of a button on a coat/clothing and nr two as stiches on two patches. What if you simply remove the equal-sign in nr 3?mezich wrote:next iteration of compare icon
Many opinions eh

To my mind "compare" means "a=b?"
Maybe you could try an icon "image - equal sign - image - question mark"?

It's not possible in 24x24. And will be too complex.Peter2 wrote:To my mind "compare" means "a=b?"

I like n°3, it is my favorite now, but with an intrinsic dichotomy like JohnFred said before, it will be better (like the icon n°2 bellow).
Because "Compare" means for me: Is this image is similar to an other one ?
Then "=?", and usually the probability is very very small to have exactly the same image.
Only "=" means for me (make equal or make a link)

If you changed the color of the right hand "image" in #4, my vote would be #4. Yes that breaks the symmetry of the icon, but Compare is typically between different images, not the same image!
So I vote #4.
Very attractive, reasonably accurate symbology, and with a distinctive outline different from the other toolbar icons (therefore good for hand-to-eye coordination).
My second favorite is #3. The "equals" sign has good contrast and would help visual identification. But #3 also needs the second (right-hand) "image" to differ from the first (left-hand) "image" for it to work for me.

I like n°3 here.
The meaning of the balance [1] is not obvious (weight?), the "equal symbol" [2] only may implie a transformation, and the "question mark" [4], well... I don't know?
The "is it equal?" of #3 is quite interesting. There is no need for different colours IMHO, because people usually compare similar images...
