At this point I don't care what the icons look like, just that they stop changing them for a minute.

    Normally I'd agree but google had a real problem with "everything is a simple red-yellow-blue-green outline" for a while so it's been a long walk to get them to have actually distinct appearances.

    These ones are good. Now just don't change them.

    Great redesign. The icons finally look distinct enough to differentiate them at a glance.

    The Tasks icon looks like someone sat on it though.

    I didn't realise until now that the Drive icon combines the colours of Docs, Sheets and Slides. Clever icon.

    The gradients have been added to improve the privacy of the applications, and to enable side-loading across all the platforms. Thanks Google.

    Weak, but deserved sarcasm. I'm so incredibly sick of Google's superficial changes for the sake of "change" modus operandi. This won't matter, but they're regularly breaking long-established workflows with other changes, and marketing them as "improvements" when it's really just mostly unnecessary bullshit. I hope the forthcoming Moto GraphineOS phones are both good and affordable.

    I feel like the only work Google does on Android is changing how things look.

    Great that they're distinct again but why do they have to be so ugly

    Android finally started to have a pretty unified look with everything being Material3 and people understanding how to follow the guidelines but we're going to have another "gradually redesign everything" so it's a mess for couple of years.

    I mean they actually look different from each other so that's good

    That’s so much better than the last redesign.

    Is the grey blue the Gemini moulding over products?
