I just prefer how the icons looked from 2014-2018 because they still look recognizable from the change from skeuomorphism. Big Sur's icons look as if Apple had an iOS app shape fetish.
Well to be fair macOS 11 is heavily inspired by iOS 14 in so many ways and the icon change is really just another example of it. They clearly tried to distance it from the previous OS X / macOS 10 with these new icons and I personally really like them
coming from a new mac user when macos11 just came out, it helped me a lot since so many things were similar from ios, and it only took me a few days to learn the system. If I got catalina, I would have taken me a lot longer to learn.
I do agree though, that the catalina icons are more aesthetically pleasing, but I think big sur was just for new users. They should make an option to go back tbh
I like how for Automator they made a completely new design, then with Home, Apple just went "Frick it, throw the existing logo in that thing we have a patent on..."
Even though a lot of people say that they preferred the older ones, I think that the MacOS Catalina icons looked too bland. The new shadow effects and rounded corners make MacOS Big Sur look a lot nicer and more modern.
I can see why you'd like the design of OS X Lion, but dude that hasn' been updated in more than 10 years old you're probably very vulnerable to cyberattacks and you will probably get a lot of compatibility issues soon. There's some graphic shells that can be installed on modern MacOS that make it look like older versions such as Lion or even Cheetah if you really want the design
I feel like it looked good for a bit, but it started to get old. Big Sur is one hell of a fresh coat of paint in my opinion and really unifies the Apple ecosystem just one step further.
Really not liking the new icons. It feels like all the fun and individuality is being sucked out of the icons to force them into a uniform rounded square. The pillowlike shading on the icons are just hella offputting too.
I feel like most of the hate is from the fact that people can't deal with change. I like the new icons tbh (well most of them) - and it brings more consistency with IOS which is good.
@@NobelTech Even now that I checked on Apple’s server status website and it says the issue was resolved, the update is still not downloading for me. Guess I’ll just have to keep trying
the launchpad icon is what really is annoying. the old icons kind of described themselves, like launchpad was a physical rocket! now its just 9 squares..
I wish for Big Sur and the latest MacOS operating systems they made the icons look like iOS because flat design mixed with skeuomorphism looks bad most of the time.

@@krishn13tv getting a new macbook soon, macos will seem alot like my phone, so i may learn it faster. lol
These new icons grew on me. I like that that some of them still go out of the rounded square and that they are still mostly skeuomorphic
I like how for Automator they made a completely new design, then with Home, Apple just went "Frick it, throw the existing logo in that thing we have a patent on..."
Books, Contacts, and Dictonary: Who cares anymore, just straighten up the logo.
@@SpaceSysZ from Windows of all things
I like the way Big Sur is 3D-ish
British*
@@StevenJames124d he actually meant that it's almost really 3d it's just a little bit 2d for him he sees it like it's 3d so that means he said 3D-ish
I don't like it, I love it.
@happygamer352 totally agree
Even though a lot of people say that they preferred the older ones, I think that the MacOS Catalina icons looked too bland. The new shadow effects and rounded corners make MacOS Big Sur look a lot nicer and more modern.
do comparison of ios and macos icons
That is pretty much useless as the icons are almost exactly the same but just with depth and shadows and slightly more detail.
@@phaserx3294 True
i still use Mac OS X Lion for the old design cause i don't like the way new mac os looks.

I never understood why the icons were different. I’m elated!
Yes this !
Catalina vs Big sur in a nutshell
Catalina: c i r c l e
Big Sur: n o
Catalina looks better in my opinion.
Yeah Big Sur looks like an iOS device imo
Same
And in my opinion Big Sur looks better.
*Press X to doubt*
My controller: i can't send the input cuz it's not freaking connected!
Ok I pressed X 9 times
I feel like it looked good for a bit, but it started to get old. Big Sur is one hell of a fresh coat of paint in my opinion and really unifies the Apple ecosystem just one step further.
The screen time icon looks dope!
Really not liking the new icons. It feels like all the fun and individuality is being sucked out of the icons to force them into a uniform rounded square. The pillowlike shading on the icons are just hella offputting too.
anyone have a download link for all the final icons?
I like that they allowed themselves to add some texture back
much more consistent now
I like how they just went *iPad Mode*
Catalina looks way better
facts tho
Catalina... HA! Nobody Cares Of It!
But Big Sur Is The Only One That Everybody Cares!
Mavericks looked way better
@@DeviceLover614 yes.
I want old icons back.
Dude why you want the old icons back??? It’s more better the Big sur....
@qqxyz its only the finder icon that makes me do that
You can just remove them with the original Sprites by going into their files
@@thechanneliguess yeah you can change Mac app icons unlike ios
The Design from Big Shit ist terrible. Childrens look, no longer reputable
it looks really fun in my opinion i like that it matches ios now
I feel like most of the hate is from the fact that people can't deal with change. I like the new icons tbh (well most of them) - and it brings more consistency with IOS which is good.
Still better than windows 10 shit
@@axetrollyeah with the gross start menu
@@axetroll ikr
4:33 its looks like more minimalist then mac os bigsur??? wtf
It’s basically iOS
but 3d
0:46 why is there a chess app preinstalled
I have mixed preferences In my opinion
I absolutely love the Big Sur icons they are my favorite icons for macOS
i hate it, i miss pre-big sur icons. they give me nostalgia and a comfy feeling
I’m excited for Big Sur, but it still says the installation failed. I’ll keep trying but ugh... it’s just super annoying
@@NobelTech Even now that I checked on Apple’s server status website and it says the issue was resolved, the update is still not downloading for me. Guess I’ll just have to keep trying
I know, it’s so frustrating!
big sur is like IPHONEish icons
The icons are a much better improvement, much better.
Can you do Mac login screens?
I miss the old icons already…
the launchpad icon is what really is annoying. the old icons kind of described themselves, like launchpad was a physical rocket! now its just 9 squares..
Or combine them by letting the rocket blast off by launching the blocks
@@0mar_sh that could work too.
You forgot photo booth
Big Sur icons look better than Catalina ones
My Favorite Is Big Sur.
big legend to the catalina icons, theyre way better in my opinion.
I Love Catalina more
I feel bad for the textedit icon
windows plus ios=mac
iOS is actually smartphone version of Mac OS X.
I think Big Sur is better because they’re rounded corners.
Big Sur 🙌🙌🙌
*T H I C C S U R*
Oh yeah i want big sur
But really tho i think they did good with the icons
except for finder...
I only see performance in my Mac
Okay pretty Decent
Haha. I remember this music.
Very nice!
I love Big Sur
Icons before big sur were good
Ok I like the rest but new preview and quicktime player nah
Catalina icons look outdated and ugly. The Big Sur icons look much more clean, modern and accurate to the Apple aesthetic.
i am useing a macbook ver Big Sur.
The big sur launchpad icon fucking sucks.
It looks like fluent icons
I would go with Catalina
Los iconos de big sur parecen de iOS
big usr is like *S Q U A R E*
Facetime, Mail, and Messages icons in Big Sur are attrocious.
bruh, how?
Anyway opnions r opnions
@@bngmapping the gradients and shadows are just terrible
I can definitely agree that the face time is atrocious the shades on it are just to unnoticeable
Mail is fine, the others you mentioned aren't.
And Big Sur is 3d ish
I wish for Big Sur and the latest MacOS operating systems they made the icons look like iOS because flat design mixed with skeuomorphism looks bad most of the time.
who else wants a macbook
@Manciv my PC is trash I want the specs of the macbook too
Big sur is always the best 👌
imho big sur looks better
4:00
