    Depends on what the purpose of the button is.

    A setting should show the current state, but an action (referring to the play button example) should show the state it’ll transition to.

      I disagree. I think both the current state and the state it will change to should be clearly labeled.

      Also - just because everyone is familiar with something doesn’t make it a good user experience. We’re used to play/pause but it’s honestly not very good.
