It's still a bed, which is still hard to see from afar.


We hope that it's a clearer bed than what we originally started with.

With respect to seeing it from afar -- the contexts in which we are using the icon is for desktop and post-PC device user interfaces. Interfaces which aren't usually used from afar. Most users who are exposed to this icon will be looking at it from just two to three feet away.


All the other icons you are using are clear, but that one does not look like a bed.


I think it doesn't matter if it's a bed or not, just that the icon is recognizable in small sizes. I think they did a good job in that sense.


It's also the letter H.
