In the past I tried to use those, but I found that:

- These pictographs barely suggest their descriptions, being too 
abstract to the human mind. The people who designed them gave priority 
to shape, sensation of simplicity and brand uniformity over 
meaningfulness. So I thoroughly did exactly the opposite in my designs, 
and worked amazingly well (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One Hundred 
Papercuts/Branding)(https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-evangelists)

- There isn't enough variety of them, and they are specific to 
technology. We need is pictographs that can cover more than devices and 
social media.

- Having the pictogram coloured as links implicitly suggest the 
pictograph contains a link itself, when it doesn't. This is why I chose 
to colour <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One Hundred Papercuts/Pictographs> 
using Ubuntu Cool Grey.


I know pictographs made from Unicode characters aren't be the prettiest 
they could be, but they serve well their purpose. Ubuntu official 
pictographs don't.

They are like having the most amazing hot dog, without a frankfurter in 
it. When you get a good frankfurter, you usually get the rest of the dog 
to be good easier.


Have a nice day.
