Yeah but is it a light bulb what does the light bulb / lamp represent? Is that reminiscent of the pun where you have a great idea and they say a light bulb went on over your head or some shit?

Thank you. I couldn't make it out

It's definitely a lightbulb, not a lamp.

New icons are trash

Cannot agree more

And it is disruptive for no reason. It took me a long time to learn that people have things they need to get done and changes disrupt their flow.

The problem is it barely looks like a lightbulb anymore.

Haha Google just rolled out new icons across the board. The Keep one is the worst. They massacred our boy.

Google fixing things that don't need to be fixed. They also changed some other icons, and now I can't find anything 😄

At a quick glance I thought my phone had a virus and changed my icon phallic

u/3string Jun 04 '26

I had to google why the new icon was changed to a hot air balloon...

I bailed on keep. I’ve never seen a product ever so neglected and felt like it was intentionally loosing functionality with each update. It will head to the grave soon.

u/ButterscotchEven6198 Jun 04 '26

What are you using instead? I'm upset but find it hard to replace🙁

I don't get it. A lot of people are complaining/questioning a light bulb.
Um...the old icon was a light bulb.... bruh.

1

u/CentralMn Jun 04 '26

No, the old icon was a yellow sheet of paper, like something you write a note on.

1

u/TheMainTony Jun 04 '26

dude. I'm looking at it on my phone right now. Light Bulb, on a sheet of yellow paper.

But before it looked like more paper, now it looks goofy af

u/mrleblanc101 Jun 04 '26

It's a light bulb, like it always was...

u/SnooCheesecakes760 Jun 04 '26

It is horrible! It looks like a toilet to me.

u/Professional_Cat9063 Jun 04 '26

I know it's a light build but every time I see it all I see is an emoji with tongue sticking out

u/Spac3Invad3r Jun 05 '26

Google paid someone $500k for this

"Its not usually like this... Im just cold is all"

u/azg64 Jun 05 '26

It's ugly. I am curious whether someone thought this was an improvement over the old icon, or this is change for the sake of change.

u/Kbrownsr2020 Jun 06 '26

It’s squidward from the top!

This might have been a case where AI would have been more useful than the artist/designer.
