Story Of Shapes #5

This p5js Generative Token tells one "Story Of Shapes"

Shapes have different meanings depending on cultures, themes, languages, countries, people, etc.

Through these tokens, I tell you one story, the one of Teiyu Goto, Sony Designer :

In a 2010 interview with Famitsu Magazine, Goto said he was well aware that “other game companies at the time assigned alphabet letters or colors to the buttons. We wanted something simple to remember, which is why we went with icons or symbols, and I came up with the triangle-circle-X-square combination immediately after.” A name is just a name until you impart some meaning to it.

Goto wanted to be memorable but he also wanted to make sense, at least in his own mind. “I gave each symbol a meaning and a color,” he states in the same interview. “The triangle refers to viewpoint; I had it represent one’s head or direction and made it green. Square refers to a piece of paper; I had it represent menus or documents and made it pink. The circle and X represent ‘yes’ or ‘no’ decision-making, and I made them red and blue, respectively. People thought those colors were mixed up, and I had to reinforce to management that that’s what I wanted.”

You understand, this is only ONE Story.
