What even is a good alternative save icon these days?! This is the only save icon I know.

Edit: lmao I’ve gotten so many replies! I love y’all.

A floppy disk is fine, just like Photoshop uses terms like dodge and burn, references to obsolete dark room methods, like cutting and “pasting” were literally how some layout projects worked.

Referencing the last physical incarnation of saving a file seems fitting!

I did photography at college a few years before digital technology took off. The old dodge and burn was way more fun. There was no undo button so you had to remember what gets done where and keep refining the print. It took ages. And the chemical smells were amazing!
