Find People Icon

Well, if you keep up with my tumblr, you’ll know I was having some trouble with the “Find People” icon. I couldn’t decide if it should be “FIND people” or “find PEOPLE.”

I came up with some sketches emphasizing each direction, but none of them really captured both.

I got some great feedback from Dylan Patty & NightofReason (thanks!!) But ultimately went with this direction:

I figured that you only really want to “FIND people” when you first download the app, and want to populate it with people/things that make the app worth using. But this icon is to stay on your homescreen *forever* long after you’ve found all of the people that you intend to find. After that, you’re not really interested in “FINDING people” you just want to “find PEOPLE.”
Ergo, People > the finding thereof.
