I like the new icons for the most part, I just wish they stopped using blue so much.

>>107022368
I noticed, couldn't care really disliked them before already. If this ruins your day you deserve euthanasia. I think the small icon on the file manager looks worse

Nah, it's not Indians that get the design jobs. It happens everywhere. Random redesigns to justify your job position.

If you look at it closer, you can see that all the icons are trending towards purple. Powerpoint has a purple dot in the middle, outlook has a purple fade on the top, Word has it in the upper left, etc.

Give it 5 more years and all the icons will be purple-ish with only minimal green/blue/orange highlights.

The icons should be the least of your concerns if you're using that garbage.
>>
>>107022368
it's an improvement, but the icons are mostly nonsense to me. the first one i see two people, the second an envelope, second to last a cloud... maybe, or a really stylised wave perhaps, last has a shield silhouette
as for w/x/p/n idk what those shapes represent

The new ones look better, but of course /g/-tards (Redditors) will disagree because GNU/+Linux can't even render icons that complex without shitting itself.

This, you used to be able to discern the application just by the color of it's icon.

You'll only be happy when they're pixelated and use 16 colors, won't you?
I think they're nice.

>>107022368
I don't like this new excel and powerpoint logo... The rest looks fine though.
PowerPoint had a pie chart there, no pie chart looks like the new logo. And the new excel logo just has an unpleasant look to it, like green pillows with really wrong lightning, the shadows look so misplaced, I hate it so much
>>
>>107022368
This is only a small example of the same bigger phenomenon. Companies cheapen everything down until it's dull and lifeless so they can save more money. Then people and creators alike consume the products only to re create it in different forms because they're influenced by its overly simplistic features. This is the symptom of a negative collective psyche that comes with major economic downturns. You can call this "late stage capitalism" or some bullshit if you want, but it's not capitalism that is the problem. The problem is that we endlessly overoptimize everything to the point where everything is becoming shit. Too expensive to make new logos and do cool graphic design? Make it into some bauhaus shit. Don't wanna spend a couple more dollars on developing a product? Simplify the manufacturing process until it becomes unservicable when it breaks down. Our decision making abilities have worsened with every generation while the opportunities for creating new growth are lessened continuously because of our risk averse behavior.

Yeah, It almost ruined but I'm not a fucking jeet who cannot find his icon so it was, "Oh no, anyway" for me.

Your retarded. Each version of excel logo has L in it except 2013 and 2023

It's a step in the right direction. I fucking hated the swatch cards

I just wish the actual fucking OS had this much color. it feels like using fucking hospital or funeral software or something. it's so boring.

It is an improvement, if only slightly. At least they're understanding that flat looks gay.
