Ohhh that's sweetI dont think anyone will beat this one: http://dribbble.com/shots/1107955-Flat-Safari-Icon-iOS7
That IMO is what sort of style all the buttons should be.
This is simply just a very small improvement over the original one, no offence. I think the problem with the Safari icon currently is because its a huge circle within a boxy icon with two arrows as though its a compass rather than the iconic safari itself.
What exactly is the red & white arrow in the Safari icon meant to be? It's a serious question.This is simply just a very small improvement over the original one, no offence.

I don't think that's the way things work with Apple.That's a nice looking icon. Is there a way you could submit it to Apple as a recommendation?
To be honest, I'm not an iOS developer, nor am I a graphical designer, but the red and white arrows of the Safari icon has been there ever since safari arrived on the mac and the same iconic design is brought over to the iPhone. So I don't really know.What exactly is the red & white arrow in the Safari icon meant to be? It's a serious question.
I agree, however it just doesn't bother me the slightest. If anything, I don't like the music icon! The colour just stands out of the rest so much!I mean the arrows can stay on the icon. I think the main problem with the safari icon in iOS 7 is that its a blue circle within a white box. Thats my own reasoning why people are unhappy about it. Safari used to be a full blue icon, if you get my drift.
Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to try.I don't think that's the way things work with Apple.
What I have gathered from all the feedback about icons is that apps that generally employ the same colour scheme received little negative responses, but apps like Safari and Music which employs a different scheme received a number of negative responses on the other hand.I agree, however it just doesn't bother me the slightest. If anything, I don't like the music icon! The colour just stands out of the rest so much!
PS: I always thought the arrow on safari icon was mean't to represent the compas on the top of the globe, though it does have white colour on the other half instead of blue.
Perhaps if you can totally remove the white circle and make the atlas texture blend with the entirely blue icon, it would be perfect .I combined the threads original, and the one posted here http://dribbble.com/shots/1107955-Flat-Safari-Icon-iOS7, and came up with this.

The safari icon has always been meant to resemble a compass. The arrow in the middle represents the needle in the middle of the compass.What exactly is the red & white arrow in the Safari icon meant to be? It's a serious question.
There are people in other parts of the world?The icon is a little North-American-centric, don't you think?![]()
Thats not how the map of the world usually looksI combined the threads original, and the one posted here http://dribbble.com/shots/1107955-Flat-Safari-Icon-iOS7, and came up with this.

You could make the same argument about the current icon in iOS6 -- it's showing only the Americas. But I think the link posted above showing no map is more 'universal'.There are people in other parts of the world?

I don't think Apple understands the grid system Apple introduced.I don't think anyone really understands the grid system that apple introduced.
This was my best interpretation of what you said.Perhaps if you can totally remove the white circle and make the atlas texture blend with the entirely blue icon, it would be perfect .
Of course not! How can a multi billion dollar worth company be capable of that?I don't think Apple understands the grid system Apple introduced.
