Look at the icon again. It's not the SMS that people like. The new one has odd lines running across the background and a really deep drop shadow on the word bubble.
The odd lines are still a huge improvement over the old one.

I thought so too, but watching the Keynote, they were on the highlighted title slides... like "okay, now a look at the messaging app..." and you'd see the new icon with the lines... looks like it was meant to be that way.
That's in your opinion. You don't speak for everyone, nor is your opinion fact. Quit acting like you rule the world.
What? Who the heck are the people who LIKE the current one!?

Seriously? You think having "SMS" across there made it good? You don't think it's the worst icon on the iPhone?
Well, ok. Here you go, I've improved the other icons to go with it!

So does the phone icon
Wow, that's a terrible argument.

No, I thought it was pretty funny too.You're telling me "PEOPLE" didn't make you laugh?
Apparently I'm the only one who thought that was really funny.

Anyone else hate the new Messaging icon on 3.0?
get used to it or don't use it![]()
Anyone else here think the new Voice Memos app doesn't look like a standard Apple icon? It looks so out of place next to the bright, well designed icons.
That's the first thing I thought when I saw it too. It looks like a third party app icon. But whatever, when the jailbreak comes out, I'll just poof it away so I don't have to look at it.![]()
why are you complaining? after waiting so long for them to come out with something to satisfy people they finally give you what you want and you wanna complain about what an icon looks like. this is one of the dumbest threads ive ever read.
A lot of us Mac users coming to the iPhone are graphics-oriented people. We like good interface designs and Apple is usually good at providing top notch GUI quality. The fact is... looking at the new icons... they don't look like they belong next to the old icons. They don't look like the same people designed them that designed the original icons.
I made a mock up on what *I* think the new Messages icon should look like:
It's simple and clean.
