Steve Jobs yelled
There’s too many Apples on the screen
Our logo is special, we need another icon
Susan Kare looked
At an icon book
And found the Swedish symbol we rely on

And that icon has been appeared
On every mac we’ve ever owned
And it originated from
A Scandinavian castle called Borgholm

Don’t throw away your notebooks
They might get acquired by MoMA
A woman saw the bomb icon
And thought her mac would explode
Chicago could have been called Elephont
And it came back on the iPod
OK used to be DO IT
But people read it as DOLT

May Li’s practicing humility
As a design practice
She’s doing all she can to understand humans
Ashley doesn’t know
The tech specs of her macs
She wants to make your heart sing, that’s what gets her movin’

Standing at the crossroads
Of technology and liberal arts
Inside the Emoji Chamber
Thumbs up, smily face, heart heart heart


Thousands of icons for hundreds of companies
Art history background
Took typography books to the interview at Apple
Some graph paper images inspired icons that ended up in the mac
Don’t throw away your stuff, it might get acquired MoMA
OK used to be DO IT which read as DOLT
Chicago font came back on the iPod
Everyone can project themselves onto something simple
Was told nobody would ever see the system failure icon
(Saw the bomb and thought the Mac would explode)
How many apps could there be - her system would be fine forever
Who uses an hourglass, let’s get on with it
There are too many Apples on the screen! Our logo is special
On the ride from the airport see the command key everywhere
Command key is Borgholm castle
1 level of undo seemed miraculous
If you like needlework, you’ll love bitmap design
Use your brain and wrist - concept is wedded to what you’re designing
Windows had bad colors
They should have called it Francisco Sans
Let’s get some shading on the stop sign

May Li Khoe
We have a bad rap for being cocky assholes
Being humble as a design practice
Innovation comes form being humble and open
So many ideas thrown out at apple
Doing everything you can to understand human beings
Placeholder guy
Imperfections make us human

Doesn’t know the tech specs of her Macs
If the sound were on you’d be crying
Edwin Land inspired Steve Jobs
Type A and so was going to learn C++ in 21 days
