These parody Google icons are better than the new update

Google icons made by users on X.

Google recently revamped its app icons, much to the joy of users who had grown tired of the brand's 'unified' (a.k.a. indistinguishable) old designs. While anything would've been an improvement, the new icons have been surprisingly well received, prompting some X users to share their own alternative designs.
