We're talking about the spirit of the button here, i.e. how it represents the meaning it's meant to convey, not its technical execution.That's unfair since 'Artistic' was botched and became blurrier than it needed to be.
IMO thebutton is leagues better than the brush, it suggests many more uses and has a really well realized smugstache attitude.
But yeah if a button's visuals can be improved why not, it only depends on the benevolence of our overlords.
Agreed, the artistic poof is better. It just needs to be re-implemented, the original is still in this thread, waiting.
