A now "deceased" website on RSS marketing and RSS publishing - a look at the history of internet marketing
The Microsoft Team RSS is discussing what icon to use in their IE7 toolbar to represent RSS feeds.
Go take a look and contribute your comments.
Personally, I'm not really happy about any of their choices, but the best is number 4, showing the broadcasting of content.
Basically, #4 is the only one really describing some of the essence of RSS, with all others really not having much to do with it and really being more a creative statement than a user-oriented design function.
Also, putting some text in the icon, such as "Feed", would also not be a bad idea, just to further explain things to users.
The interesting thing is that among their comments many people seem to prefer the old XML button, although research shows the button not only being dead, but never taking life in the first place. Sorry, XML is just to techie.
