Thanks for coming to my speech, Icons Behaving Badly!
The design behind adding interactivity to an application or website seems trivial; download a free icon collection from sites such as Flaticon, Font Awesome, or iconmonstr, pick an appropriate icon, and add the image to your work.

that pressing it should bring up a menu, right?
