Outlook 2010 icon looks like a beaten up Linux penguin

lol, random

How do you not see the bird in that icon? I almost feel like if someone were to ask Microsoft their response would be "YA, RLY!"

[still1]

Meh, funny thing is it actually looks more like a duck. :p

lol.......

[Pharos]

No, the icons will be final. Maybe MS might tweak them a little but that is it, the place holder icons were infact the Office 2007 ones.

Ugh.

I don't know about you but I'm very picky about the icons on my superbar. IMHO I consider horrible icons such as these to be just as bad as pixelated, 8x8 icons enlarged to 256x256. This is one reason why Steam isn't pinned to my superbar.

But since I heavily depend on Office, some of its apps will have to be pinned to my superbar. And I really, really, REALLY HATE these new icons, I will, for the first time in my life, have to change to something that look better. :(

The new icons overall sure are dreadful, Microsoft still hasn't learnt that change for the sake of change still isn't a good thing.

True. Vista was mostly changes just for change's sake, and people really hated it. Did MS learn from it? No, not really.

Yes.

You, sir, win the internets! :rofl:

Yes, in fact it looks more like Daffy Duck !

I agree the icons are crap, but did anyone notice they took a bit from Gmail and organized conversations like Google already does??

[timmmay]

HAHAHAHA!!

Thanks for the laugh...I will never look at that icon again the same way!

[webeagle12]

So...penguins are now orange?

I blame Global Warming!

[Xerxes]

AHAHHAHAHA yes I see it, too. I agree, these icons better be placeholders, they're awful!

And what happened to the new mail notification overlay on the new Windows 7 superbar? I don't see it :cry:

It's still there :)

I agree the icons are crap, but did anyone notice they took a bit from Gmail and organized conversations like Google already does??

Actually they did it in Office 2007 as well but it was crap and annoying. It's much more refined and usable in Office 2010 :)

CANT. UNSEE!
