1. Basement Menus: YouTube is now using the “hamburger” icon to represent a hidden menu (usually to the left of the icon).
2. Circular profile icons were/are a mobile trend. (Designers sometimes places profile icons on top of product images in mobile to save on screen space). Now they’re on web too. [Below: Etsy]
3. Pinterest uses the default iOS 6 share icon for its share button. This icon has become universal to people to frequently use mobile software.
