Apple’s Icon Regression

If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design
A very correct take.
I don’t really get how the oldest ink pot icon is the ‘best’, but the new Liquid Glass icons are so much worse than the others that it’s genuinely saddening. I personally think that the initial Big Sur icons were the epitome of Apple’s modern icon designs.
