Remember when every #icon used to look like this?

#retro #retrocomputing #retrosoftware #fauxcarta #nostalgia

A small blue icon depicting a classical building with a triangular roof supported by four columns, resembling a courthouse, bank, museum, or government building.

A glossy green circular icon with a white check mark in the center.

A small icon of an open eye with a blue iris and dark pupil.
