To this i would say lets keep the Display and the Squeegee.

I'm just thinking we are not dealing with cars.. so making it look more like a squeegee instead of a wiper would be better. :) Hope im not being too critical. >>> On 1/27/2009 at 01:13 PM, in message <254a00640901271213jbb1f123v94c8fe3828bf17cc(a)mail.gmail.com>, Robb Perry <robb.perry(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I could easily straighten out the wiper arm--many or most cars have straight > wiper arms. > > On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 3:44 PM, Cameron Seader <cseader(a)novell.com> wrote: > >> No reason.. just the seperation really.. maybe it would look better if the >> handle were straight instead of looking like a windshield wiper.

No reason.. just the seperation really.. maybe it would look better if the handle were straight instead of looking like a windshield wiper.

Hey, Robb, nice to see you still on the list! Thanks for engaging so quickly. I can see where Cameron's going with it. I like the wiping squeegee concept the most, too. I think where Cameron is going is making the squeegee concept even clearer. As it wipes the screen, it could be a wiper, cleaner, etc., and the word "squeegee" may not come to mind as quickly as it may if the squeegee were propped along the side. Your point is well taken, too, about the design concepts that we need to honor. Is there a way to increase identification with "squeegee" while honoring those concepts? >>> On 1/23/2009 at 13:14, Robb Perry <robb.perry(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi Cameron, Do you have a particular reason in mind that the wiper next to the monitor would improve the concept?
