保存图标：仍然是软盘？ [英] Save icon: Still a floppy disk?

问题描述

我正在开发一个项目，用户可以在其中保存他们的工作（最有可能是硬盘驱动器，但也可能是其他媒体，包括软盘）。当然，流行的文件> 保存选项就在那里，但工具栏按钮呢？

I'm working on a project where the user is able to save their work (most likely to the HDD but also possibly any other media, including floppy disks). Sure, the popular File > Save option is there but what about a toolbar button?

目前为止最多流行的图标是软盘。但是，用户写入软盘的可能性非常小。不过，我认为软盘比文字更具代表性。

By far the most popular icon is the floppy disk. However, the chances the user will write to the floppy are pretty slim. Still, I think the floppy is more representational than literal.

最后，我可能会坚持使用软盘图标来保持大多数用户熟悉的惯例。但是......有人对如何更新这个旧图标有任何想法吗？

In the end, I'll probably stick with the floppy disk icon to keep the convention most users are familiar with but... anybody have any ideas on how to update this old icon?

推荐答案

正如其他人所说，请保留软盘图标，不要担心。我居住的地方，这是火车穿越的警示标志：

As others have said, keep the floppy icon and don't worry. Where I live, this is the warning sign for train crossing:

50年左右没有任何蒸汽机车，但每个人都知道这是火车的象征。同样，50年后，当您的文件存储在轨道上的Google服务器上时，每个人都会知道软盘是保存数据的符号。

There haven't been any steam locomotives for 50 years or so, but everyone still knows that this is the symbol for trains. And in the same way, 50 years from now, when your files are stored on Google servers in orbit, everyone will know that the floppy is the symbol for saving your data.
