minimalizism
found on the Wall Street Journal online
The bare minimum: print and email. Print is more abstract than ever.
at the foot of the article, we see the tools repeated. Oddly email is not included. This makes no sense to me-- when are you most likely to share an article: before you've read it or after you've judged its value?
Order reprints is in the right location, though the icon seems to be just for the sake of being an icon (the merc does a better job by using a icon that reminds you why you need to get permission).
Print has been retitled and more clearly explains what the button will do. I've often wondered about the "print" label. I have seen a printbutton occasionally trigger a print action, and been utterly unready for it. The New Yorker, below, also goes for the clearer label.
