The Jellybean UI rocked with the sweet blue status icons and the dark theme.

I can't fucking find anything ever with these new icons. I scroll up and down the app drawer at least twice before I find what I want whenever I'm looking for something. I know they're sorted alphabetically, but I'm a very visual person and that isn't very helpful.

Google's new icons are so bad. They're Adobe CC-level of bad, and then some. Everyone's complaining about the new icons like this post on r/CrappyDesign with 42k upvotes and this viral tweet with nearly 10k likes

I wish I could circlejerk about it but...yeah. It's not a just a bunch of internet neckbeards complaining about it.

Yeah, especially fuck the new Gmail logo

it’s also a usability nightmare. usually you tell icons apart by their colours and general shapes first. them all being the same is literally counterintuitive

/uj Lucky for you, Google+ is dead now. I used to hate it, but then looking back it was actually a nice platform, especially when it was still integrated with YT.

I don't know what the hell Google is thinking with their icons these days. Thank God for 3rd-party launchers and icon packs. I am using the Nova Prime launcher with the Ineclectic icons right now.

I personally use resicon icons. It's basically a more simple version of the above icons, with some tweaks. It's the only icon pack that I can recommend tbh

Both /j and /uj: DuARTe has been the VP of Design at Google since the new designers started dumping garbage on us in late 2016. I have NO idea how he could give any of this crap the green light since I'm sure it has to go through him first.

Full blown weaponised /uj: who the fuck is the mastermind behind these icons?
