The tab bar is thought of as one of the most straightforward navigation patterns.
What is sandwich icon called?
It's called a “hamburger menu” because it takes the form of the famous sandwich. This icon was created by the designer Norm Cox for the graphical user interface of the Xerox Star workstation in 1981. Cox's goal was to create an icon that would communicate to users that a list of items was hidden behind it.
Why hamburger icon is semantically correct?
The hamburger icon is easily scaleable and it fits cleanly into a pixel grid. It was originally a list icon that has been press-ganged into its current role, but since a menu is simply a list of options, it's semantically correct to use the list item in this way.
What is a hamburger in an app?
It might make you hungry, but the hamburger button actually has nothing to do with burgers. Believe it or not, it's a term commonly used for menu buttons in apps. In fact, most of us use this icon daily. The icon with three stacked lines you see while toggling a menu or navigation bar in an app is a hamburger button.
