Re: Can you pick out a brand just by their button design?
#32It's a shame the buttons are in JPEG form. I can barely see past the artifacts. EDIT: Incidentally, I got 8. There were only 9 services that I have ever used, so I don't think that's too bad. Are there really that many people who have used all of those services?
Medium Dev here, this is our fault. We convert images to JPEG when sizing and cropping, this obviously doesn't work well for vector style graphics. We didn't want people to have to wait for a 500K PNG when a 60K JPEG would work for most cases. But, I think we'll probably make a change soon to keep the format the same as whatever it was uploaded with.
By the way, since this image is mostly flat colour, you may find that PNG compresses just as well as JPEG.
EDIT: Turns out the PNG is 95K, versus 62K for the JPEG. Worth the increase IMO.

I guessed microsoft correctly (because of the flatness) but the rest I had no clue.

I don't see how it's evidence against his claim, since he's not saying that certain companies do this perfectly. Surely you would agree that it would be better to have a button style that you would instantly recognize (all else being equal, of course).

Agreed, I'm going to make the change.

I didn't recognize any of the buttons either. Personally, it matters to me if a button is readable and doesn't look like absolute garbage.
Telling me I'm not an internet geek just because I didn't remember the buttons? THE NERVE!
