The icons for most effects represent either the A or B source as filling the frame. The A source
is on screen before the transition. The B source is on screen after the transition.
A and B sources indicated in effect icons
■
If the A source is full-frame, the B source will move into frame, covering the A source.
■
If the B source is full-frame, the A source will move out of frame, revealing the B source.
The position of the smaller A source indicates which direction it moves, and its
orientation represents the nature of the movement (that is, spin, tumble, or peel).
There are some exceptions to this:
Mega Peel effects
The A source shrinks back at an angle and then either peels off or is
covered by the B source.
Push, Squeeze, and Swap effects
Since both sources move in these effects, neither
symbol is full-screen. The relationship of the A and B source placeholders is as representative
as possible, but you should preview these effects to see how the sources move.
A and B sources indicated in effect icons
Over The Shoulder, Head To Head, and Double Box effects
Show the relative size of the
two sources as well as the position of the source that’s shown as an inset.

Wipe effects and some PowerPoint effects
This group breaks all the rules for effect icons
because wipes do not lend themselves to incorporating the A and B source images in a way
that indicates the nature of the effect. Instead, these icons show a gradient. The wipe starts
where the gradient is darkest and proceeds toward where it’s lightest.
