I like a degree of it, just not to the full extent Apple carried it- the leather with stitching, the reel to reel in the podcast app.
iBooks though - is perfect. I prefer the old icon for Find My iPhone as well.

Secondarily, Find my iPhone update works perfectly with my 4S running iOS 6.1.3 - and I do not have a developer account.
I wonder if it has to do with paying for extra iCould storage or Applecare, not just dev credentials.
This icon is an improvement. Glad to see they did something right. It could just use some shine, but if Apple kept the shine on the icons, it wouldn't look like they're innovating 
Stock apps can only be updated with a iOS software update in iOS 6. I don't know if they changed it in iOS 7 but individual app updates have never been available for stock apps.
When I was running the iOS 7 beta, I noticed certain apps icons changed automatically even if the dev had not updated them.
There is something in the iOS 7 code that flattens icons in certain situations. It wasn't universal but noticeable on certain apps- like Pocket NoAgenda.
I bet that is what is going on with Find my Friends.
Looks like this may be fixed. If you go over to Apple's System Status page, it says:

Built-in apps only get updates via an iOS update and not through the App Store.
Any AppleID can be used for FMI, not just an iCloud account.
The error pertains to that you need to be a developer and have iCloud turned on.
Yeah but no. These icons were all fetched from iTunes, not iOS.
You can see the new icon on the iTunes website as well, so it's got nothing to do with iOS 7's "auto-flattening".
Wait, are people seriously complaining that something in a BETA was released that only works for registered developers?
And, for the love of everything, can you please stop whining about icons. You look at them for two seconds before opening the app... who cares.

Oops!
Somebody is so fired!
No harm for me. I ran the update on my iPhone 5 iOS 6.
At first I got the error that said I can't use it (even though I AM a developer!).
Now it's working. Apparently they're scrambling over in Cupertino today.

The update was pushed to everyone. iOS 6 as well as iOS 7.
Non-developers as well as developers.
