I actually appreciate that they are working on these icons, because I had a difficult time with distinguishing the Store icon from the File Explorer icon. For some reason, I always had to scan both with my eyes and it took me about two seconds to for the correct icon to register in my head.
However, I'd like to suggest to Microsoft:
- This new store icon is VERY different in that it is a front projection rather than oblique.
- This now is sufficiently different from the File Explorer icon, but the File Explorer icon is really bad. Why not a much simpler Folder icon?
- Also, other MS icons are very dumb. SAVE on many MS apps are a 3.5" DISK! What the hell? A floppy diskette means NADA to my daughter. Way to try to get young people to like MS products. Who's in charge of this sort of thing?
