What are some examples of simple, but fundamentally wrong icon designs?
Two examples I have in mind are the crescent moon with a star inside (the star is still behind, even in the part where the moon is not visible to us) and three gears interlocking (which cannot rotate, because two would have to rotate in opposite directions). Are there any others you have seen somewhere?
