Try to guess the app
>filename

Why they fuck up an icon that is universally recognized? To look like a Cupertino fag job?
>>
I could tell pretty easily it was insta. They changed the colors but the overall shapes are very familiar.
>>
my guess was it was a camera app with filters like instagram, and i suppose instagram is like instagram; looks kinda shit but you can tell what it is

>glorious old one
for reference

I am not particularly keen about skeumorphism, but fuck, the opposite looks lazy and too simplistic (aka win10 or osx lately)

In that matter, I guess material icons are a good middle approach

Looks like one of those "goofy camera effects" apps.

>>54497263
OS X is alright but Windows 10 if they continue with their metro/modern UI I don't know anymore. Look at the monstrosity the new settings are, worse menu you can make, even fucking freetard couldn't make something this shit.

OSX lately still has a lot of skeumorphism going on. I have to admit it's a lot less glossy and more flat-esque but still not lazily.
>>
>>54497175
Instagram. That camera shape is pretty iconic.
>>
Facebook ruins everything
>>
>>54498194
This style strikes the perfect balance IMO.

They're neither over the top skeumorphic with all the 3D, lens glare, shadows etc. nor are they too monomchrome and flat to tell them apart.

That's a washing machine son.

Looks like a chinese ripoff

>>54497175
I don't give a fuck about the icon because you can override that in two seconds with any iconpack you are using but I'm annoyed that the instagram app is even a bit more battery running on the background that my messaging app that I regularly use.

They designed it to blend in with iOS.

Didn't recognize the application until i read the file name.

Why would anyone use an application owned by facebook? Just place an image in an email and email your friends.

They could've at least kept the color scheme
>>
>>54497175
I personally don't care as I don't use that shit app.

It was so simple, Instagram. Just make it black and white. Or just a simpler version of the old logo. Fuck.

They did that sunset gradient logo in-house.

>I doubt anyone will be making cakes and cookies in the shape of the new Instagram logo and that’s the biggest problem the new logo faces: it’s not the old logo. The ensuing shitstorm on the internet today will be epic. About 75% of the negative reaction will be simply to the fact that it has changed and the other 25% will be to the not-quite-fact that there is a generic aesthetic to the new icon where it could be a “camera” icon for the upcoming smart microwave from Apple or whatever other user interface you would imagine. This is not to say it’s a bad-looking icon, no… as far as camera icons go, this is quite lovely and has the minimal amount of elements necessary to be recognized as a camera BUT not the minimal amount of elements necessary to be recognized as Instagram.

Lately there's been quite a sprouting of minimalistic games/apps, guess they're going with the flow.

They fucked OS X all the way up. There was nothing wrong with Mavericks.
