Looking at Skype I find myself finding its UI really beautiful!!! There is something really gorgeous about the play between the rectangular prisms (includes squares) and the circles to mark features! I think the tiles have been really effective but to add to their beauty I think the organic-ness of circles will help with the harsh structure of the generally square tiles. I'm even drawn to the official instagram app for the same reason because they use a few circles to point out certain menus or feature and there is something really beautiful..........pretty much I'm hoping that Microsoft can start to use circles as well as tiles in certain menus/hubs I think it can really enhance the creative process making way for even more beautiful apps but just enhance the visual experience of an already beautiful UI.
