Link to download those new sexy icons for everything. My opinion is that flat style is best. I hope it will be taken over by just white thin outlines of the icon. Like lines for android. This is the only aspect of future software that I actually think is good. Everything else is just more bloat and botnet, but at least we have sexy icons now.

The new Safari 13, more refined than ever.

There already are flat designs for those.

I drew them myself for an earlier thread
(warosu.org/g/thread/S56607879#p56609449) for like five minutes in Photoshop. Are they really that good though? Should I draw more of them vector graphics?

Too detailed. NEEDS MORE SIMPLICITY AND MINIMALISM AAAAAAAH

in vector graphics*

They look amazing, but just a tiny bit more detail isn't always bad, I would say you definitely get the point across, and in the end it's all about being able to quickly identify the program. You are seriously looking at a career as a graphic designer, this is better than half the shit I grade for art school. A vector form would be best, as most operating systems support svg for icons, it's better for AA most operating systems don't use lanczos down scales for icon resampling.

lmao son

If you live in the NY area or really just interested in a career, I can write you a letter of recommendation for NYAA. Post a temp email and we can talk.

Sadly I live in eastern Europe

That's a shame. Keep doing what you're doing sir, you possess a truly beautiful gift built for the modern era. 11/10 would pay money for more.

>the fucky angles on the chrome logo

Perfectly in like with the new 'G'

Actual graphic designer here, they look okay. The designs aren't bad but your colour palette needs more contrast.

Fuck no, I hate that shit. It looks like some 4 years old did it. If someone whom I tasked to create a graphic design showed me this, I'd fire him on the spot.

I miss the Vista-7 style icons. Beautiful, detailed, just perfect.

I prefer pixelart icons.

>Too detailed.
I am a little drunk, but have it.

Also hate it. Missing Skeuomorphic icons in iOS

The chrome icon was actually pretty neat

When everything gets too minimal, the differences between things decreases. This makes icon identification actually harder, not easier.

But Aero was shit even back then and pixel art looks like complete not responsive mess.

>pixel art looks like complete not responsive mess.
Amiga Workbench had icons that looked different when they were highlighted.

> pixel art looks like complete not responsive mess.
the what?

...

I mean that in the responsive design paradigm. More like resize friendly. Sorry for being unclear.

...

Shit. What's that, four pieces of cardboard? Flat is cancer, which will soon be gone.

That's not flat, brother, that's "Material". Don't you know anything?

Anyone else glad that the gloss & gradients fad is almost over?

Oh, oh, I get it! It's that, you know, the little shadow thingy that makes the difference, isn't it? That's, like, supr cool!

I am kinda, but, nigga, this flat shit is even worse.
>let's draw in powerpoint and call it a new way of design!
Though I was OK with gradients.

It was mostly the gloss that looked stupid and unnecessary.

...

These two are long overdue for a material redesign.

user that icon looks like shit did you even think before hitting "post"?

well if you consider it was made in gimp..

am I graphics designer now?

You're hired!

No now shut up before I have an accident.

it's because much like irc nobody wants to do good speaking when the primary audience is going to be composed of autists and contrarians

Google chrome wouldn't look that bad flat, actually. The rest is pretty bad though.

>Graphics Designer

Hang yourself...

Ever worked in a team of devs?
Give them a week to determine the design of an app/website/etc and it'll look like garbage that nobody wants to use. if you think /gd/ isn't related to tech you're a retard.

Or they'll just outsource their branding work to someone else, like pretty much most people do nowadays.

>if you think /gd/ isn't related to tech you're a retard

what the fuck am i reading

back to the containment you have escaped from

please stop
you give actual graphic designers a bad rep

Plebs, you don't listen to trends

Maybe in big business, outsourcing either costs a fortune or is cheap and shit for SME's.

I would have said "spotted the dev", but most dev's I've worked with have the integrity to admit that things go to shit without someone to set design guidelines and UX standards.

>UX

I should mention that I made neither of these. I found them through Google images

>inb4 GNU plus Linux pasta

Flat iz better to your sight
Less detail the lesser information your brain needs to process

>Maybe in big business

Uh no, even the startups I worked with didn't really bother to design their own logos and brands. They just outsourced it all to another company in Beijing.

>They just outsourced it all to another company in Beijing.
Outsourcing to Beijing is covered by the latter part of my statement. Also do you actually believe graphic designers only deal with company branding?

here's microsoft edge

In all of the work I've done in programming fields, yes they do. We don't need graphics designers any more other than to brand our stuff and design our logos, that's it. We make our own websites, our own work and pretty much everything.

Over 9000 hours in paint

I'm not saying SME's don't outsource, I'm saying that generally cheap outsourced work doesn't hold a candle to having a design and development team that are on the same page, especially if you're adapting or iterating a product or service.

you fool! the linux logo needs to be made with free software!

I tried.

I think you missed the new flat design advances in gimp

Why? What can you do about it? If I wanted I could create several graphic design threads here every day, just making them related to technology ("hey guys, what do you think of the icons/branding of those programs/companies") and there would be nothing you could do except shut up and accept it.
If this bothers you, fuck off yourself. Find another board, or another site.

related to this, I grabed the svg source for that image

I made this

I would tear off this fucking Windows Logo Sticker on my Laptop and stick this on

reminder all this icon cuckolding is directly result of consumer phone culture.

anyone else despise phone culture?

I want that as a sticker.

Behold, the correct icon evolution:

> inverted -> inside out ->
What?

It's an icon thread, my views aren't valid, some of you should follow me out.

Is "inside out" like icons that use whitespace?

Is there a flat design for WWE's logo?

but for real, have you guys seen the steam logo recently?

it has like, gradients and shit.

pic related is one i made thats way more fresh and innovative.

Having a gradient isn't a bad thing; it gives the logo some depth without adding more lines and shit.

And their logo actually looks like a gear-assembly type thing; yours just looks like a gay telescope.

I HAVE IMPROVED MY DESIGN AGAIN/THE 4 STAR TOOL IS HARD TO USE.

By the time the logo is redesigned and the redesign catches on it won't even be close to "GNU/Linux" anymore

GNU is already waning in importance. We're at the point where very little GNU is essential for OS operation, and the users who consider a UNIX shell and full UNIX toolset to be an essential part of the OS is dwindling quick.

>i don't understand flat design

Pinnacle of perfection here. Such skill. You're hired.

Flat design exists for a practical reason. You can easily scale flat UI elements to virtually any size display, which works out considering how many 4K mobile displays exist alongside sub-1080 and even sub-720 ones.

The next big trend in design is going to be the impression/illusion of depth and "weight" to elements.

>next big trend

Fucking trendies. Go to a fucking fashion show and gtfo of tech.

It looks amazing, You are seriously looking at a career as a graphic designer, this is better than half the shit I grade for art school.

No, graphic designers give graphic designers a bad rep. Half of you faggots have no sense of composition or color harmony, you just slap shit together until it looks good to you. Problem is, most designers have no fucking style so what looks good to you often looks shit to the rest of the world, except other limp wrist hipster trash.

It's a lowercase g, you gimboid.

>art school

Kekkle dekk meant to quote with

I prefer Windows 7/glossy sorts of icons. Flat is good for vector, but if you're using bitmap flat icons, you're a fucking idiot.

> You can easily scale flat UI elements to virtually any size display
Fug no
Properly drawn, everything can be scaled easily.
The problem is nobody doesn't fucking want to work, so they made arguments like yours.
And you aren't going to say this icon looks classy? What a fag.

Otherwise we wouldn't know his/her/their/it/whatever gender. It's MORE IMPORTANTER than everything else, you silly user.

.. . I mean the favicon alone …

no you don't

I've heard of similar for flags. The reason for flat design on flags is that it's easier on the eyes and that it's more reconizable. This is especially important when viewing a flag from far away, because it is hard to make out small details at a far distance. Can you imangine if English characters(letters) were as much of a pain in the ass to draw as Chinese? This is why I can still recognize the same sentence in nearly every font. It's just so versatile. Of course there still is a place for more detailed design, such as a painting, a sculpture or acomic, when you are trying to display a more complicated and intricate message to viewers. There is such a thing as over-doing it with details. So details that shouldn't really be their get removed. This makes for a much cleaner, less messy design. Making the image look aesthetic. Of course you need some detail. But only just enough that it's unique and easily dissernable from other designs, so as not to get them confused and also so that your brand is more well-known and memorable. I am not nessecarily in either the minimalist or detailed camp as I see that both have their advantages and disadvantages.

u special snowflake u

>and pixel art looks like complete not responsive mess.
It's a fucking icon. A static image. No icon looks responsive.

Yeah, some people take it too far. This is why we have modern "art". Their is a quality to it but it is way too exaggerated in the art world.

Toilet seats are manufactured in a range of different styles and colors, and they may be furnished matching the style of the toilet itself. They are usually built to fit the shape of the toilet bowl: two examples of this being the elongated bowl and the regular bowl. Some toilet seats are fitted with slow-closing hinges to reduce noise by preventing them from slamming against the bowl. Some seats are made of various types of wooden materials, like oak or walnut, and others are made soft for added comfort. Seats with printed multi-colored designs, such as floral or newsprint, have been fashionable at times. Other designs are made of transparent plastic, encapsulating small decorative items such as seashells or coins. The price of toilet seats varies quite considerably. Decorative textile covers for the toilet seat lid have gone in and out of fashion. Advocates claim that they allow the toilet to be used as a more comfortable seat and provide another way of decorating a bathroom, while critics view them as a sanitation problem which creates unnecessary work. Some metal toilets, such as those in many jails and prisons, have built-in toilet seats that cannot be removed, so that an inmate cannot fashion it into a weapon, shield or escape tool.

I wish it had the gold beak though. Would be a nice looking highlight I think.

Windows 8 and 10 look like shit with their flat UI. My 4s with ios5 looked so vibrant and lifelike where my new 7+ with ios10 looks like something a preschooler made on his first attempt.

>Skeuomorphism is where it's at.

Did I strike a nerve?

I work in advertising; do you know how many fucking portfolios I go through of art school grads with nothing but flat design? Too fucking many. Do you know how expensive and time consuming it is to retrain a graphic designer who knows nothing but flat design? Too much and Too long. But you know what's the worst part? The entitlement of these talent less hacks, who demand a job in my company just because they sunk a couple hundred thousand dollars into a school that ill-prepared them for the outside world.

Fuck off you unskilled fool. Nobody wants you.

As an actual USER, let me thank you for talking some sense into the flat design memesters.

Users fucking hate flat design.

t. user

I remember watching a small documentary piece about the collapse of any talent coming out of these "art-schools". The dean of one of them basically said it's not worth their while encouraging or even teaching students about classic art anymore. They take the money for the course and let the students pump out any old garbage and give them their degree at the end. It's sad.

Think of who benefits from trading shit masquerading as art these days.

Same with any minimalist junk, I can't decorate a house so I'll just knock down all the walls and put a couch and table in and call it a day.
I don't know how to design a building so let's just make a glass cube
I don't know how to carve furniture so I'll just make it a metal box
Boring ugly lame and lazy that's all it is.

...

1/2

Whenever I see applications from certain 'modernist' schools I immediately discard them.

I've had the Deans of several art schools call me and not so subtly threaten me for refusing to give their grads interviews. Go ahead blacklist me. It will do you more harm than good. I've got tons of stories of interviews gone wrong with these entitled brats. From not wearing proper attire to showing me pornography. The worst are definitely black women. They can not take a no or criticism of any kind. I've been threatened with lawsuits for refusing to hire them.

>who demand a job in my company just because they sunk a couple hundred thousand dollars into a school that ill-prepared them for the outside world.
They demand a job in your company because they need a job. Anything further is projection on your part.

Also, all graphic designers are faggots and assholes, you don't get to play superior.

No, not all. 90% of my guys here learned on the job. The only assholes are those that spent exorbitant amounts of money to take pictures of their own shit.

Nah, if you're not naturally good at painting you can self-teach effectively if you're not a lazy fuck. You don't need an art degree to get work as an artist, though unless you're really specializing and honing existing talent, art ed is useless.
