macOS Golden Gate icon comparison

It’s unfortunate that we can’t settle on an icon set for at least a decade. Constantly changing the icons misses the very point of their function: instant recognition.

This is partly why I’ve escaped to text-only interfaces and monochrome icons wherever possible. Granted, it’s not ideal, but sticking with the icons offers no advantage.

That "Stocks" icon is bizarre -- imagine a stocks app where the marker indicating the queried position on a trendline actually had that superfluous refraction effect on it.

I like it. More contrast in most areas. Better defined. What Tahoe should have been.

The new Siri icon is meh though. Didn’t know what it was at first.

Enhance. More sharp.
