Everyone can agree that Burbn’s Instagram application features one awesome-looking icon. And it should. After all, it’s an artistic app. Have you ever wondered what it looks like from behind?

Cole Rise has, and he's decided to show it to the world, using Instagram’s iOS icon as an example (pictured above). A professional photographer and designer, Rise chose Instagram because its icon looked like a solid object, which made it a natural choice to try and envision it from other angles.

Instagram has recently become a Facebook asset, and it’s also available on Android devices now. These developments have spawned quite a backlash from the iOS community. Numerous iPhone fans believe that the service will now get filled with crap photos and comments. Not that it was a sterile pool of artistry to begin with, but that's what being a fanboy is all about.
