Web icons With Shadows

Origination of icons.

The word icon originates from a greek word meaning "image". Icons first where generally a flat painting depicting Jesus, Mary, saints and angels. Icons may be cast in metal, carved in stone, embroidered on cloth, painted on wood, done in mosaic or fresco work, printed on paper or metal, etc. back in the day every icon had a symbolic reference with the color and style.

Then after a long time of image icons, we now have this thing called a graphic icon or a Graphical User Interface Icon. and originally they had computerized image of floppy disks, folders, simple colors and words (made by Steve Jobs). 

Then once people everywhere started having computers they started making more user friendly, by adding more color, shadow, backgrounds, very visually friendly and easy to use.
