Mandatory squircle-cide

View on Threads
Screenshot of the post for posterity

Every once in a while a post is made that must be celebrated, archived and lauded for the pithy zinger it is.

I am not arguing for maximalist icon designs anymore. However, there’s no denying that Apple used to have great icon designs (and icon designers). However, what’s clear is that Apple doesn’t believe it’s a meaningful value differentiator for them anymore and when you know that you are not putting in the investment to make that meaningful, of course you don’t want the rest of the world to surpass you and it becomes mandatory squircle-cide.

This isn’t limited to Apple though – this downslide seems more associated with “brand synergy”

Adobe’s total lack of personality has some personality to it while it looks like Google just went – I am primary colors and Microsoft split the difference. Weirdly, given its novelty, Apple’s icons are the ones lacking complete recognition – other than Keynote, I wouldn’t recognize any of the other icons anywhere. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Related, this is my absolute favorite Apple icon

Automator Icon

I’ll miss you bud.

O stands for „On Court“ – and on point. 🎾
Today’s letter comes with a sporty twist: a neon-yellow furry “O”, textured like a real tennis ball.
The ball next to it? Just to check if the texture match is legit. Spoiler: it is.

P is for Plush Power. 💙
Soft, bold, and full of energy – this letter P radiates texture and presence.
Part of my ongoing experimental alphabet series, where typography meets materials.
Today’s vibe: royal blue fur with attitude.

Q is for Quirky & Quick! 🔥🧡
This letter just can’t sit still – fuzzy, bold, and full of kinetic energy.
Part of my ongoing alphabet series exploring materials, motion, and texture.
Because sometimes “less” just doesn’t cut it.
