Yeah, see this has the teen-girl color scheme, but it looks far more polished, coherent, and consistent.
Got a tip for us?

I think the new icons are not too bad, but I would prefer if they were even flatter. Go all the way.
The colors and the background gradients are absolutely horrible. Fix it.

To me all the icons look like they are in the wrong colour space and totally blow out and too bright.
Knowing that the print department had a hand might suggest the colour pallette was from a process colour source not a RGB additive screen process.
Often in print bright colours work best but it's the opposite with anything displayed on a screen. I hope apple gets the colour conversions out and tames the eye ball piercing tones they have now. Please please please!

Dude, pretty sure they know this stuff...
Also, 'print department'? Did you hear JFK got shot?
That Safari icon is beautiful, and I would definitely prefer both to what Apple has us looking forward to.
Thanks buddy I am dull , I've been dull since i bought my first mac back in 1990
....just curious if u used the beta ?Unless you expect pre-release beta software to be perfect, I don't understand your question.
I don't understand what a flower looking icon has to do with photos. That needs to be revamped. I have no idea what the balloon/circles looking icon is for at all. I also liked the old gear icon for settings.
Honestly I don't have a problem with the flatter icons, but do they have to be so colorless? It seems like more contrast is needed. JMHO

Child like icons for IOS 7 really
I for one am very disappointed with the icons for IOS 7. They look quite child like and lacking depth. Looks like the crap Windows throws at it's customers.
"ONE" of the big things that has drawn me to Apple products the last 7 years is the beautiful OS and icons. I see a lot of people in this forum don't like the icons either. Everyone please take a few minutes to email Apple and let them know your disappointment with these icons.
What's scary is this these cheap looking icons will probably show up in there OS for Mac's next Unless we all speak up and voice our opinions to Apple now before it's to late.

Unless we all speak up and voice our opinions to Apple now before it's to late.If you're saying that because some text overlaps an graphic somewhere, whilst ignoring the huge amounts that has changed, then I disagree.
I Disagree with BS people come up with to justify something that you can do much better from the get go.
Okay, you could say that it's too soon to judge iOS7 in it's beta stadium. On the other side, Apple is showing presentations on it's own website like this is what we'll get. Don't be surpriced when Apple keeps this layout of icons. Maybe some minor restylings trough updates after the def release.
Exactly. Beta software usually is feature complete, functional representation of final product. Don't expect mountain to be moved.
What would you have it be a photo of? If it was a cat, dog people would complain. Can't be a person because who would you choose? A photo of a flower is an excellent, completely neutral object that probably wouldn't end up being an icon for some other function. The reason it's a flower SHAPE now is to create a bridge from the old sunflower on the current photos icon. Evolution....
I don't understand this comment at all.
Oh my god that looks beautiful. It's got shadows though, but it would be cool if icons themselves could have shadows as well which move to add to the parallax effect.
That flower sketch doesn't say photo to me. It like a thousand doodles I've drawn, not a photo.
Did you read the part about it being an evolution of the current sunflower so people can transition easier? Suggest something else if you're so smart. Can't be a camera so what else ya got? If it's a photo of anything, it's always going to look abstract. If it's a picture of a photo album at this size, people could mistake it for a book, notebook, address book, etc.

Too bad you didn't design the icons
.. Send that into Apple telling them to change the icons to that or elseMy thoughts are that the new OS as a whole is designed perfectly. Everything works great and looks stunning, but the icons don't reflect the overall OS appearance. Jonny Ive wanted to blend it all together, but the icons (color or style) don't match the new OS appearance.
these icons wont be changed, I have never seen apple change icons based on feedback from a BETA project. They will update it later if they feel the need. Currently to defend their brand, they will keep telling us how amazing these icons are and we simply dont get it. So everyone LIVE WITH IT!
