  1. Well designed information is clear, unambiguous, and enhances comprehension and other human performance.

    The illustration below shows a duration. Several design changes could each have made this usable, such as adding a space:
    23:00 09:30
    or a word:
    23:00 to 09:30

  2. The "magnifying glass" 🔍 icon for Search is a standard.

    Some designers have redesigned this standard icon.

    In these 4 screenshots, do you see a:
    🔍 Magnifying glass?
    Q Uppercase q, the letter?
    EQ Two uppercase letters?

    Have these redesigns been tested for their impact on user performance? Do these redesigns reduce recognition of the Search icon?
