Great article by Bobby Solomon on how making “hollow icons” aren’t going to confuse your users.
Maybe not confuse with “cognitive overload,” but iOS 7’s spindly toolbar icons do take a step backwards in legibility (especially in the case of Notes, where they’re bafflingly orange with an inset drop shadow).
If I has anything to say about the internal icons it’s that I don’t get why some of them were altered or moved. What would have been the harm in keeping the curved arrow on the share button. Or keeping all the icons in the left in Safari.
