Does anyone else find the app icons[0] to be absolutely hideous?
Google reskinned all of their app icons but there's no consistency. Some colors overlap with transparency (see Google Meet, Calendar) but others don't (see Maps, Play Store).

- deckard1 4y agoit's no surprise their video meet branding is going so swimmingly if you saw what they did to their other brands with the logo redesigns. They don't seem to understand the purpose of branding. You can't make individual apps part of a collective with icon themes and still retain strong brand identity among each individual app. It's like they tried to split the difference, and the result is a bunch of gibberish.
