I’m not gonna read the article, I noticed the gmail icon change and I looked at the rest of the icons. The gmail one is excellent. I know what the heck my email notifications are for the first time in forever. The rest of them are “I used a design language” level of trash.
Edit: I think I got preemptively downvoted by the HN comment system before I even saw my words on screen but I don’t care. I stand by this opinion.
I have to agree. I don't mind the triangular Drive icon as it's distinctive, but the others are far too similar to one another and the identical color scheme simply exacerbates this fact.
