Man I wish we’d go back to fun and unique logos. Now everything is minimalist lower case crap that looks the same

What, you don't like every app icon being a white logo on a rounded blue square?

(go count yours, I personally have 19)

Aren't we all satin bowerbirds at heart? Gotta collect that blue.

Even android stopped supporting shaped icons to feel like apple where you only have stupid rounded squares. Thank you overlord google for plain boring corporatism when you could have chosen interesting thing you already did

Android didn't stop anything. You're phone's launcher did. Try a third party launcher today!

I use third party launchers, but that's not the point, very few apps support them because google (and consequently Android) stopped caring. Of course, it might just be corporates being corporates, but I just don't see why google doesn't want them

Wdym apps don't need to support launchers
