While there is truth to what you say you should also take into consideration the amount of cognitive clutter reductions icons do. I never said that everything has to be an icon. | |

Unless the graphic is immediately obvious (by convention or imagery simplicity), it just adds confusion. You're not to try and make a smart sophisticated rebus, but an intuitive interface and a pleasant experience. Take this washing machine panel (not naming the brand) - while it has all the buttons needed for soiling, ironing, time travel and cake, it clearly doesn't have any washing buttons O:-) | |
