We're designing an interface for task managament app for tablet and mobile app and there are two main category with "Waiting Tasks" and "Other Tasks". I once used three dot (...) icon metaphor for "Other Tasks" but I want to try alternative metaphor for this icon.

So I want to know is there any alternative metaphor for "Other/Miscellaneous" icon different than three dot?

  • Yes, I thought it. But it doesn't correspond with project brief. I need to go with icon solution.
