Looking at the "Open Project" icon today I believe it
would be better as an opening box. I believe this
because the new project icon is a box, and then the
icons we see in the open project dialog for project
folders is the box. Then beside it we have an opened
folder with a little box inside of it which doesn't
make so much since that it means to actually open a
project. I look at the icon and quitely think open
folder and then think project, but the icons don't
line up like add file/new file, add project/new
project, and open project as the icon for the project
still makes me think about what it is after a number
of months...sometimes for what ever reason I think
about archiving when I see that icon. It looks like if
we had the plus sign and the document symbol, the plus
sign and the project box, and then an opened box that
it would make more since and have a better visual and
mental work flow.
