[IxDA Discuss] Holiday Gift from Adobe: New Icons for their Apps

[Leslie Chicoine]

These new designs have gotten a lot of flack. Sadly.

I know we have standards for icon design and these seem to fall short. But
if you think of them more as labels, which is a more accurate way to
describe how they are used on a daily bases, they are brilliant. You already
know what it is, you installed it after all! When these icons are sitting on
the doc they shine. Simple, clean, and easy to find. In my applications
folder they've got a full spelled out name in text (and typically sit in an
Adobe folder anyways).

I for one, love these new designs.
