The argument against using just an envelope icon to represent email is that it's a skeuomorph and could be confused with postal address. It only makes sense to use just an envelope icon in a context where it has to refer to email. So in the context of listing various contact information an envelope icon combined with an @ symbol would be best.

In some cases this is not possible, an in this cases such a info icon (i suppose they will open a tool tip) can be helpful. The overall layout will have an impact where to place the icon. Having the info icon close to the label gives the user context.

The problem that arises is that I am using icons back-ended by Tipsy to display tool-tip of the icon description, for example hovering over Dashboard icon will show Tip at the bottom with text: Dashboard or hovering over Contacts icons will show: Clients & Companies tool-tip.

The help icon should be used when: it links directly to or launches application/site help; Detailed information is necessary, requiring more than one sentance for clarification. The information icon should be used when: A small amount of helpful text is appropriate; May live in the UI or; May reveal on rollover; What standards do you put into use?

2016年5月24日 · A good icon should denote its meaning without any supplemental text (although you should still have it). An icon that denotes an action such as "share" should represent that action using its perceived motion. Without looking into what each icon there actually stands for here is what I as a "new user" would think they would represent:

I've noticed that the "heart" icon tends to be more social-oriented (ie, "Daniel Hellier liked this"). I guess the idea is if you love something, you'll want to tell everyone. Grooveshark uses it for songs that you like on your profile and BitBucket uses it show …
