Gmail Icons are Hard

Atlassian is the king of indecipherable symbols. My JIRA navigation strategies are:

- Hover over each symbol one-by-one until tooltip shows itself (sometimes takes multiple tries); or

- Google "how to find X in JIRA"

I manage to come away feeling like an idiot every time I open JIRA. I just typed out a typical internal monologue while using it, and deleted it because I'm embarrassed by it.

My brain cannot tell the difference between the Jira and confluence favicons. I am forever clicking on the wrong browser tab.

Remember when they redesigned them to look more like each other? That was great.

It was really tremendous. Truly a Day among days.

I think the symbol that looks like a nut with the threaded hole off centre is the "Google how to find X in JIRA" icon.

(No, not the "Tests" icon, its got the hole slightly off centre to the left. Or the "Calendar" icon, its fo the hole slightly off centre to the upper left.)
