I like how they “refreshed” the save icon by turning the floppy disk upside-down! Now that’s super-fresh in 2022!

The brand image for Save is in need of an overhaul. https://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=save%20image
Does anyone under 25 know what a floppy disk was?

I remarked on this awhile back on my LinkedIn profile. Why can't they come up with something new? Why use the Floppy Disk image yet?!? Today's generation never even saw/used a floppy disk!

Think about it: the only physical thing that they *may* have saved something to would be a USB stick. Many haven’t even used that. But they *have* clicked that icon knowing it meant “save”, even if they didn’t understand the meaning of the image.

I think about this with YouTube. How many kids know why it's called You"Tube"? Or used a tube-based television? Even YouTube's logo uses a tube-style TV with the rounded corners, which looks completely normal to anyone over a certain age but hopelessly retro to many, I imagine.
