Design brief: Make them look like the google suite but purple. The harder it is to work out what the app does from the logo, the better.
Meh...the mail, calendar and drive icons are easily recognizable for what they do. The others are easily recognizable and distinguishable from each other, although their function definitely is less clear from the visuals of the icon. This is true for most apps by far though, not just google and proton. Most icons by far makes the company behind it identifiable, not the function it performs.
Gotta disagree. At a glance they are all just purple blobs. Sure you can tell if you look closely, but you shouldn't have to.
I disagree, you don't have to look closely at all to get the function of several, unless you consider 1-2 seconds looking closely of course...
I do - It should be recognizable in a glance (milliseconds, not seconds). Maybe it sounds minor, but I work in design and let me tell you it makes a big difference.
The only one I can figure out is the folder. The rest are utter shite.
That seems more like you're the issue if that's all you can figure out...
Good design is easy for everyone to understand
Now that you've mentioned calendar I'm guessing it is the one with 31 on it? Honestly didn't know what it was at first glance, thought it was maybe something to do with window management as it sorta looks like a browser window or something. Still don't know how it is supposed to look like a calendar other than it having a 31 on it
