Oh god, Google made all of their logos for all of their android apps four color rainbow vomit, and when you’ve grouped them all into a folder, picking out the Play store is now a chore.
I was going to mention the Google app icons in response to their comment, so I’m glad I’m not the only one. If you have a page full of these, finding the right one for what you need takes an extra second or two of actual brainpower:
It fundamentally misunderstands the way that the apps fit into peoples’ daily lives. People use the apps for what they do, not for what brand they are. When I go looking for a map app, I’m not looking for a brand of app; I’m just trying to get directions. And the app logos misunderstand this, by putting the brand first and the function last.

The sheer number of them as well; Meet, Chat and Voice. Pixel Buds and Wear OS. I don’t even know what Google One is.
So many of the glyphs are so abstract that they just don’t help. Like, what is that Podcast logo even supposed to look like?
