I'm having a hard time finding an appropriate icon for "factory reset". At the moment, I have a "warning" icon, but I am looking for something less aggressive and more to the point.
Answer
The following icons have the following 'subtle/subconscious cues'.
- The backwards circular arrow is as if reversing the direction of a clock - ie taking a step backwards.
- The warning exclamation icon indicates something serious or of special note
- Red indicates the warning
- The point (if used) indicates a 'point' in time (ie reverting to a point in time)
- The vertical stroke within a circle is reminiscent of a power cycle button
- The black point is reminiscent of the hidden reset button that you have to poke a paper clip at to press it
- the black point with the circle indicates that you end up exactly where you started
I would also like to advocate that such a serious action also has clearly marked labelling.
