    Someone on the SV forum is asking for what we consider to be the top 5
    design/style icons.

    For me it's these:

    Austin Mini
    Jaguar E-Type
    Coke bottle
    Zippo lighter
    Levi's denim jacket

    Your thoughts and suggestions?

    The Fender Stratorcastor would have to be in there for me.

    I'm a little less populist in outlook than you, but arguably each of
    these have influenced the modern world to a large degree (even if you
    don't know what they are without googling)

    Ferrari 288 GTO
    Jacobsen Model 3107
    The Biohazard Trefoil
    Yamaha DX7
    The Cuba Libre

    I won't duplicate yours, so I'll say:

    VW Golf Mk1/2
    Most 8-bit computers (Spectrum 48k, Commodore 64 and brethren)
    Nintendo NES / Gamecube
    Nike Air Max / Air Jordan
    Cyrus and Quad hifi

    Yep, I'm a bit weird, and apparently mostly influenced by things that were
    around in my youth.

    what a surprise - the Spanish haven't designed anything memorably,
    after all.

    it's a style icon.

    You can't be considered cool unless you drink them[1]

    [1] note the reverse is not true: drinking them doesn't make you cool.
