It's symptomatic to me of Google's inability to make up their mind in the design department: UI different across products, UX disaster when they introduce discrepancies between products, not able to decide whether their logo is flat or bevel....
Really, Google is good at doing nerd stuff, but they should just outsource everything regarding design.

- frogpelt 13y agoThis probably more of a reflection on the person/people at the top. Apple did everything one way: Steve Jobs' way. Since his departure, I have seen less unified focus from Apple. Google's MO almost from the beginning has been sort of the opposite--to try everything at least once and have fun doing it. This spills over into some of their design philosophies too, I would think.
- rmrfrmrf 13y agoIf you look closely at all flat design, it's not flat. There's almost always a very thin bevel. There are several reasons for this: 1. it attempts to address the issue of flat UIs being absolute shite for UX. 2. it looks more interesting on a high definition screen. 3. it adds a finishing touch that sets it slightly apart from plain text.
