		<description><![CDATA[Since Apple announced version 10 of iTunes on Wednesday there has been a bit of an online uproar over the redesigned icon. I'll agree it may be a bit garish and perhaps not as refined as other Apple applications but at the end of the day it is just an icon!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1586" title="Old iTunes logo and new iTunes logo" src="http://www.thewebdesignblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/old-itunes-logo-and-new-itunes-logo.jpg" alt="Old iTunes logo and new iTunes logo" width="540" height="192" /></p>
<p>If you really don&#8217;t like the new iTunes logo you can quite easily change it to a different icon if you can&#8217;t bear to look at it.</p>
<p>In fact, several talented folk on <a href="http://www.dribbble.com/">Dribbble</a> have already designed some rather snazzy replacements for you to use:</p>
<p><a href="http://dribbble.com/shots/51746"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1579" style="border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 3px; background-color: #fff;" title="iTunes icon replacement" src="http://www.thewebdesignblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/icon-replacement-1.jpg" alt="iTunes icon replacement" width="170" height="128" /></a> <a href="http://dribbble.com/shots/51530"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1581" style="border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 3px; background-color: #fff;" title="iTunes Icon Replacement" src="http://www.thewebdesignblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/icon-replacement-21.jpg" alt="iTunes Icon Replacement" width="170" height="128" /></a> <a href="http://dribbble.com/shots/51424"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1582" style="border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 3px; background-color: #fff;" title="iTunes Icon Replacement" src="http://www.thewebdesignblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/icon-replacement-3.jpg" alt="iTunes Icon Replacement" width="170" height="128" /></a></p>
<p>So, if you really can&#8217;t stand to see the new icon in your dock you can quite simply change it over for something else. Easy! No need to get overly frustrated or angry over an icon.</p>
<p>Instead of moaning about the icon change (which, I&#8217;ll admit, I was guilty of doing myself when I first saw it) I&#8217;ve come up with a list of three things going on in the world that I think are more important and<strong> far more worthy of our concern</strong> than the iTunes 10 icon:</p>
<h1><strong>3 Genuinely Important Things:</strong></h1>
<p><strong>1. <a href="http://www.dec.org.uk/">Pakistan Floods</a></strong> &#8211; Donate online to the DEC Pakistan Floods Appea.</p>
<p><strong>2. <a href="http://support.wwf.org.uk/">World Wildlife Fund</a></strong> &#8211; Become a member, adopt an animal or make a donation.</p>
<p><strong>3. <a href="http://www.oxfam.org.uk/">Oxfam UK</a></strong> &#8211; Get involved, raise money or donate online to Oxfam UK.</p>
<p>Sorry for the ranting blog post, if anything I wrote it to remind myself that an icon is just an icon &#8211; something nice to look at &#8211; and not something worth getting angry about. <img src='http://www.thewebdesignblog.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
