+7I recently stumbled upon this very interesting piece by Mark Parnell on Medium about consistency in design.
In short, consistency is not and cannot be the sole criterion of good design. Building a consistent design system is important, but over-zealous quests for consistency can be at the expense of other aspects of design.
I really like the Google icon redesign example of a case where consistency is actually counter-productive:
Funny ‘cause it’s true. 
What are your thoughts on this topic?
This is a great piece, thanks for sharing 
+7Haha, me too 
Interesting read! I looked up which sides of the road Japan and South Korea drive on (I thought the indicators would be relevant to this), but it actually isn’t. I suppose here, there isn’t a ‘standard’ or ‘regulation’, this is why the indicator isn’t linked to what side of the road the country drives on which would be a better consistency.
Definitely agree on the swipe, very frustrating!
