    Can we make up our minds, please?
    In the 90s-2000s we had these shaded, almost 3D icons everywhere. Then we transitioned to a flat, minimalist style.
    Give us something new and exciting instead of capitalizing on “retro nostalgia”

      The 2000’s were very…amorphous. Like, remember the Cingular Wireless blob dude? Or the MusicMatch logo? Not the black and white jagged thing, the orange blob and blue bigger blob? And how all personal electronics were strange plastic shapes painted silver and purplish-blue? And the world hadn’t gone insane yet?

      Yeah, I was like “what new logo?”. I remember when the 2D logo was new and the 3D one was old.

    I think I actually prefer the simplicity of the old one. In general, I find logos with too many textures a little distracting or “noisy”

    The new one looks like a serious downgrade, imo

    I might be in the minority, but ignoring the actual design, I’m hopeful that the trend of flat design is coming to an end. Wasn’t really a big fan of that.

      I like skeumorphism done right over material design (the trend of making everything into basic shapes makes me attribute to graphic designer laziness over anything).

      BUT, I wouldn’t want it to be like fashion where every 2 years it flips between flat, simple, material design being what’s hot then the next two years, complicated and glossy icons become the norm.

    Are we going back to older, more detailed logos?

    Giving up on Material already? But we are only half way through the You upgrade.

    I get the feeling Google aren’t very joined up

    I don’t know how I feel about the move from a flat logo back to the old shaded, gradient 3D look, but I am definitely a fan of the font!
