Die schwedische Befehlstaste

Die alte und stets feine Geschichte zur Entstehung des Befehlstasten-Icons (auch bekannt als Blumenkohltaste oder insbesondere Teppichklopfertaste) bei folklore.org: "It's difficult to come up with a small icon that means "command", and we didn't think of anything right away. Our bitmap artist Susan Kare had a comprehensive international symbol dictionary and she leafed through it, looking for an appropriate symbol that was distinctive, attractive and had at least something to do with the concept of a menu command. Finally she came across a floral symbol that was used in Sweden to indicate an interesting feature or attraction in a campground." (via digg)
