Can we make up our minds, please?
In the 90s-2000s we had these shaded, almost 3D icons everywhere. Then we transitioned to a flat, minimalist style.
Give us something new and exciting instead of capitalizing on "retro nostalgia"

The 2000's were very...amorphous. Like, remember the Cingular Wireless blob dude? Or the MusicMatch logo? Not the black and white jagged thing, the orange blob and blue bigger blob? And how all personal electronics were strange plastic shapes painted silver and purplish-blue? And the world hadn't gone insane yet?

The world had gone insane, just in less malicious ways. Blob dude, for instance.

Yeah, I was like "what new logo?". I remember when the 2D logo was new and the 3D one was old.
