In the beginning G created a beautiful design.
Everything was clear and simple.
And G said, "Let there be confusion,"
and Gmail's new minimal theme appeared.
Some good-paid designer decided to make things
incomprehensible.
It's a game. You got to guess
what are those icons. I'll give you hints.
Too colorful? Too understandable?
Let's change things.
Yes! It's a new experience!
If you are color-blind, you are lucky!
Everything's gone monochrome.
Basically, same toolbar.
with lots of T's, tT's, A's, T's
and a face laughing at you.
I admit I always need to click to see what it's for.
Back in 2012, they made a first attempt.
It seems there was some 'resistance'.
Look at that buttons appearing and disappearing.
Less buttons = less battery consumption
Year 2015. Google announces new logo.
Designers say, "new logo it's stylish and respectable".
And people accept G's will.
Welcome to Gmail's future design.
YOU ARE GONNA LOVE THE NEW TOOLBAR! (LOL)
