Design Notes

The Open Share icon conveys the act of sharing by visually representing one hand passing an object to another hand, as in "pass it on" or "sharing". The icon also represents an "eye", as in "look at this".

Project Support

The Open Share Icon is supported by - Ken Rossi (creator of the widely used OPML icons), Bruce McKenzie (GeoTag icons), and is used by hundreds of websites and applications including SmugMug (over 2 million users [2]), NetworkWorld, Shareaholic (over 2,000,000 downloads [3]), the Mozilla Add-ons Directory[4], Wikia, Weather Underground, Princeton University, and Google.
