The older icons were more obvious though.

For example 2016 version.

Looks like OneDrive is next.

We can only hope

Hey now, I'm lazy and don't want to setup a SharePoint server just to sync my OneNote notebooks to mobile. It's the one thing I use OneDrive for.

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

I'm sorry I can't hear you through those nonsense words like "SharePoint", and "OneNote". I have the Microsoft ShareVault HyperSync on my WaffleGrid 360 Cloud Turbo, can you ping me there

Hahahahahaha, take the upvote for making me chuckle.

The stupid names devs give to software.

especially the macos version of those icons! the new icons are such a downgrade imo

The old macOS icons for Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. They all follow the same format: a semi-open book-ish icon, with the cover being the brand color of the app and having the app’s brand letter, and the page being a representation of what you create in the app. For example, Excel has a stylized spreadsheet, and Outlook has an envelope. The icons have a 3D look.

Each version of office is a downgrade.

Change the X in the Excel icon to E and you can spell out "PENIS" in your taskbar :)

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

I guess we agree then.^^ You saying "the old icons were clearer" is essentially goalpost-moving over thread op saying "the new icon mean nothing".

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I am not goalpost moving. Just pointing out that your argument of the icons being clear is valid for the older icons. The new ones are just coloured blobs.

[-] PolarKraken@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

I actually didn't realize until y'all's thread here that the new icons actually do contain a stripped down version of those older, clearer indications. I've looked at them many, many times and just saw meaningless vague color gradients.

They are bad 🤷‍♂️

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I said "visual representations of". I never used the word "clear" (I did in my second comment, but only to paraphrase that you said "obvious"). And no, they're not "blobs" (i.e. amorphous spherical things), they are primary shapes. Those shapes do represent the primary function/interface of each app in some way.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I call them blobs mainly because they are not distinct enough.
