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.
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.
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 have to use Google for work. I’m glad they’re not all squares lmao.
The gradients have been added to improve the privacy of the applications, and to enable side-loading across all the platforms. Thanks Google.

That’s so much better than the last redesign.
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.
They also fit in great with Material Design 3 which is distinguishing itself from iOS very well.
I’m actively trying to DeGoogle but I won’t pretend this isn’t good design.
At this point I don’t care what the icons look like, just that they stop changing them for a minute.
Hah I was just thinking the opposite. It is nnice that they keep thongs fresh with new designs.

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

I feel like the only work Google does on Android is changing how things look.
Come now, they also put decent efforts into eroding the privacy and openness of the platform too.
I’m not buying you privacy. We have privacy at home!
Privacy at home: Google VPN
Great that they’re distinct again but why do they have to be so ugly
Wtf they’re going backwards with calendar?
Actually like that they’re going back. This looks more like a calendar
I mean they actually look different from each other so that’s good
Is the grey blue the Gemini moulding over products?
Why does Google Forms look like Microsoft Teams?
Design trends are a circle.
I get depressed knowing I use Google products.
