And the interface of their apps are still incoherent af. I don't know how, but they manage to make things worse every time

Yeah, the old logos were all over the place. At first glance it’s not obvious they’re all Google apps.

I think what really bothers me about the aesthetics is that the shapes are broken up by the coloration. For example, the pin icon for Google Maps looks almost like a hook, because the yellow has little contrast on this white background.

And that’s why I don’t really hate it. I hate Google, but I think it’s a neat design choice. I still hate Microsoft’s icon design a lot though, they can’t seem to stick with one thing.

Whatever. It sucks ass is the point.

I definitely find it more aesthetically pleasing. Just like the icon packs.
