It's a massacre. The originals[0] were metaphorical and easy to grasp. These new ones are meaningless, for most of them you can't guess what the app does from the icon. The beautiful 3-axis colorwheel gimbal, gone. The concert access badge, gone. The pressed record award replaced with a disc? Is that the MP3 player app?
And Final Cut Pro looks like Windows 11's garbage free ClipChamp! None of them have the gravitas of the old ones.
It's weird because uniformity and minimalism haven't been "in" in years, outside the Silicon Valley bubble. They're very culturally out of touch.

Oh Thank You for the link. Exactly what I am talking about. You dont have to like or agree with every icons beings used previously, but at least they serve its purpose which is easily recognisable.
I saw the new icon and it nearly made me puke. Had it been coming from Google or Microsoft I would have thought oh not surprised.
