Be aware of the fact that your cultural or ethnic background is likely not the same as another person's looking at and using your icon. For the same reason, names for international products are carefully chosen these days, after some costly mistakes in the past. If you think a certain object is perfect for a files meaning or purpose, and it doesn't make for the perfect choice in another part of the world, that is probably not such a big deal though, unless, of course, it is offending. But one thing that should be avoided is the use of human bodies or body parts that show skin color. If hands or faces are frequently used in system icons, and they are always the same skin color - that is more than a little ignorant. It is a subject that an icon designer should be aware of, and a problem easy to avoid with a little creativity. The best solution is when no one even notices that there was an issue to be aware of.
Your work will likely be seen and used by people from all sorts of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. In order to avoid any stereotypes that could be potentially offensive to others, as a general rule, all Haiku icons are designed to be culturally and ethnically neutral. We encourage icon designers to follow this guideline whenever creating icons for Haiku.
