1981- Xerox Star used a graphic user interface introducing large,
unicolor icons
1984- Apple released the Mac first commercial and mass
produced machine that used designed icons and graphic elements (designed
by Susan Kare)
1985- Microsoft and other companies released graphic user
interfaces
Susan Kare also worked for Microsoft in the design of icons, so it’s
not strange for the icons to look alike.
1991- Icons start to have colors, shadows
2000- Icons start to become what they are today (3d like)
2013- iOS 7
is released, Apple kills the realistic icons and everything went flat. And other companies started to follow.
