why do they mix symbolic and realistic designs? why are some objects axonometric / isometric / perspective and others front-on. why are some "old fashioned" and others modern?

does anyone actually use this? seriously - are there any attractive, well designed sites as examples? because it seems to me like you need to do a lot of filtering to get something consistent and appealing.



I think the reason for the mix is that there's more than one 'input set'. I figured that when I saw the thermometer icon that that was it: the 'canonical thermometer icon'. However, clicking on it gave me a page of two different icons.
