New iOS 7 icons

C DM said:

The apps control the icons, so whatever they are now, or will be in a future update, that's what they'll be. The OS doesn't really put any of its own interpretation onto the icon, at least not any more than before.

Figured but thought I'd ask. Think it'd be awkward to see such a minimalistic UI with a big shiny app icon in the middle or something.

You knew what they were though which is good.

I have to give you major credit for Newsstand. I had trouble with that on my own. You seem to have taken mine and Apple's and smash them together. It looks nice.

bleh... Even though I don't really like all of Apple's current icons, I think ALL of them are better than yours...

You can't be serious. S/he has a few hidden gems in there.

no sorry those are terrible

should take note, for me on iOS 7 game center is the worst icon, if I saw yours in a upcoming version, it would be welcomed

seeing as how everyone is up in arms about the new icons, the camera icon, being one of the main ones in question. I just wanted to point out that actually most sites are using an icon of an actual old time camera, so the adoption in iOS actually makes sense and is intuitive...

But it's a good example of where Apple simplifying icons doesn't seem to have been done to the brief (presuming simplification was part of it), personally I'd go for something like this for the camera -

*Not my design but if I were to mock some icons up this is what I'd have in mind for the camera, along with the dice (which I did do a while back) for game centre:

*A little too skeuomorphic but it is obvious what it is in any language, flatten it out and put whatever colour gradient scheme you fancy et voila.

I have yet to see a redesign that I think is superior to Apple's version, however I enjoy seing them.

Personally I feel a lot of these are superior.
