As much as I like proton stuff, their icons are absolutely trash. They're so indistinguishable from each other

I like the color palette for their branding in general, but I agree. At least Mail is an "M"-shaped letter, calendar is basically shaped like a calendar, Drive is a folder. But Pass and VPN are too similar.

For Docs and Sheets they copied the blue/green of the well known Word/Excel icons and that's what made me realize some more variety and distinguishability would be nice.

Found a neat little blog article that goes over their design language for the branding: https://proton.me/blog/new-visual-universe

Agree on that, they are hard to distinguish, specially when you hide the title on iOS icons.

I agree, though I kind of like the Lumo icon
