New Windows 8 Icons

[f0rk_b0mb]

Just checkin' out The Verge and I found this. Say hello to my little friend:

Not major, but I think it deserves a place in neowin where only 5 boring people will respond to this thread instead of kicking up a mosh pit. (like every damn thread I've posted here on neowin) Where the hell is 5FDP when you need 'em?

yawn, this is not thread worthy...

See what I mean?

Honestly, don't post and say 'oh people are gonna hate on me now' if you know you're posting nonsense. Why create a thread just for this? why not post in the official W8 RP thread if you wanted to share? Also, the tags of 'surface' is not relevant, this is only Metro specific. Also, place 'metro' tag.

Yea I noticed the new store icon when it was announced. I pointed it out in a comment of the news article.

[McKay]

Ooh I missed those. That background also looks like a lighter shade of grey than what is available in the current Win8 RP.

It was a joke :)

I like the old/current Skydrive icon better :/

[drazgoosh]

I prefer the current icons. Though I guess they're going for the Metro design.

I prefer this new one, as it seems more in line with the simplified Mail, Messaging, and Photos icons. The previous SkyDrive icon was still the same as the 2011 version (based off the same idea as the Windows Live 2009 icons, which included the yellow ribbon); all they'd done is made it monochromatic. So I can certainly see why they have updated it.

Nice find!

Not that they are great but they look ok

[f0rk_b0mb]

yeah I prefer the current sky drive icon as well, but I kind-of like the new store icon...

What's behind the cloud? Well your data of course. :p

Or another cloud :p

Cloudception?

[Zain Adeel]

Or another cloud :p

I know its another cloud. But its a very weird one.

if they don't pay super attention to these graphics im gonna be ****ed. They have a big chance here to bring up the quality. Im not even happy with the IE10 logo really. or many others there. They seem off. They are rendered inefficiently.

[giannisgx89]

Totally agree with!

I really hope that there will be a way to customize windows 8 as we want (metro screen background, tiles, icons etc.)

But something tells me that we will not

[bandit_liberty_rumble]

Looks fine. I'm more concerned about the color of the tiles.

[encarta]

I don't care about the tiles, they look fine to me. But I DEMAND an option to set the metro screen background color to black.

Thought you can do that already? You have the option of black with orange highlights, black with lime highlights and black with blue highlights in RP.

It's Dark Grey.
