  • This was the idea behind the PS Vita LiveArea screen icons. The devs were playing around with drops and laughing their asses off going "WOO DUDES I BOUGHT A SWEET NEW DSLR LETS TAKE SOME COOL SHOTS" when one of them suggested they could use the droplet picture for that new interface.

    True story.
