The old icons were better

  It’s funny how icons back then were rendered with the detail of a renaissance painting, and now that we have hidpi displays, they are designed like they have to render in EGA.

  Skeumorphism was better in every way.

    We just need to update them for the modern times. For save the icon would be a storage datacenter. For dialer it would be an nsa data center. For browser it would be a google ai data center.

      Just replace every icon for modern software with a robot head representing AI that was crammed in there. Maybe adding different colors is also fine.

  lol, the phone app was called dialler because at the time it didn’t make sense to have a phone app called phone.

  Ok this might sound insane, but my dad had a razr I would borrow sometimes and the plastic had such a unique smell. And then I had a little moto glider that also had a super plasticky smell, but not as strong as the razr.

  Seeing these icons gave me such a trip back to that era and that smell. I feel like I need to go change my shoes or something because I’ve stepped into another life.
