First is that they don’t really have colors. There are two problems with the colors of the new icons. More importantly, they’re solid - except for a few that were better for their colors, like Maps, before its icon got assassinated. Likewise Keep (remember Keep?) and a handful of other lesser actors. The teal of Meet probably should have just stayed green, like its predecessor Hangouts, but it’s at least somewhat distinct. Gmail’s red color goes back a decade and more, and Calendar’s blue is pretty old as well. That’s part of why the icons of the most popular Google apps are so easily distinguished. To paraphrase Sun Tzu, if you wait long enough by the river, the bodies of your favorite Google products will float by. We’ve seen so many Google icon languages over the years that it’s hard to bring oneself to care about new ones. That can be important, especially with a company like Google, which abandons apps, services, design languages, and other things like ballast out of a sinking hot air balloon (a remarkably apt comparison, in fact). Companies always talk loud and long about their design language and choices, so as an antidote I thought I’d just explain why these new ones are bad and probably won’t last.įirst I should say that I understand Google’s intent here, to unify the visual language of the various apps in its suite. (Mainly because I was wondering about bulk operations.) Select certain facets, then select a subset of those notes to bulk add a tag, for example.Ĭhanging layout to a different number of columns and then resizing the three sections of the note window goes wonky.Google really whiffed with the new logos for its “reimagination” of G Suite as Google Workspace, replacing icons that are familiar, recognizable, and in Gmail’s case iconic if you will, with little rainbow blobs that everyone will now struggle to tell apart in their tabs. Don't know how desirable that would be just throwing it out there. Will Dates always be show me everything from x til now? Or will there be other ranges? Show me what I wrote that is older than 1 year. Popup for numbers next to facet that show "N current/N Total" do not seem to be calculating correctly.įacet list is getting long enough now to make a filter box desirable.
