    Whoever's in charge of design at Google must be bumming that their jumping on the bandwagon of NBC Peacock logo design was the thing that tipped it over and made this look passé.

        Presumably someone within Google has been arguing for years that this look is the future, and at the very moment when they finally got their way, it became false.

        People went nuts with the instagram logo change... Most probably don't remember what the old logo was and most don't even use the original filters that made it a startup darling

        I'm just amused they literally look better with colorblind mode on because that breaks the camo: (1/2)https://twitter.com/Hyoubal/status/1313563253935681537 …

        Those are some ugly icons. If you're drawing shapes, why the fuck do you intentionally break them? Shape-breaking is the exact thing military camouflage does to make humans less recognizable in the environment. And Goog applies it to something they want to be spottable. 1/ https://twitter.com/dwr/status/1313530788390998016 …
