If you use Facebook for your social associations, you may find that Facebook has updated its icons for female friends to specific the details.

Caitlin Winner, the social network’s design manager who supports this change. Winner indicates that this updates brings women in front of the male.

In the old version, the female icons were set not so obviously into the background. The mail icons were recognized easily.

With the update, the female icon is now placing in front of the male with more clearly and symmetrical features. As a result, the images can not run into one another.

As for the group logos, it updated with the female silhouette assemble in front of two males, placing a leading role.

Winner stated in a blog post that: ” women receive advanced education now. And the women place important role in social life or personal life. Women is not in a position inferior to men.”

Winner added: ” His first idea of the update icons was to draw a double silhouette with equal sizes of imags without a hard line to differentiate who was in front. After many efforts, Winner gave up this proposal as the failure to make an icon that did not look like a two-headed mythical beast. He finally draw the new icon by placing the lady a little smaller in front of the man.”
