Great post, but I think Apple already has an aesthetic which could easy to understand by the buyer. But it would be great if your opinion could heard by the Aplle as the sharing ideas or concept with them., isn’t it ? regards

The minute hand in the clock icon is designed optically – not geometrically. If it was designed optically (minute and hour hand in the dead centre) – it would look wrong :) The icon would have a crooked fell to it because of a hour hand on 9 o’clock that disrupts the symmetry. The same thing is with the color variations. The eye/brain perceives colors differently on a thin line/lines an on a larger surface (such as this circle on clock icon). They’ve probably set up that the colors look the same when you look at them from aprox. 30 cm. They have a funny hue shift though – the clock seems more blueish…

I do agree with the BT icon placement but this one puzzles me > http://gizmodo.com/5788166/why-the-fck-is-the-1-on-the-iphones-calendar-off-center

I’d love to hear explanation for this “feature”. So much tor optical alignment, LOL.

Bye,

Hmmm… Your fix looks very PC-ish, and not Apple sleek at all. ;)

Nothing intuitive about your “fix”. I for one don’t get your logic as far as the aesthetics of the whole thing is concerned – your fix just doesn’t look right. Jony Ive would get hives just by looking at that ugly bell icon. :)
