The classic "don't do this" icon design guide by Denis Kortunov from turbomilk. Headlines:

- Too many elements in one icon
- Unnecessary elements
- Lack of unity of style within a set of icons
- Unnecessary perspective and shadows in small icons
- Overly original metaphors
- National or social characteristics not being taken into account
- Images of real interface elements in icons
- Text inside icons
- Outside the pixel framework
