Title:
Change of icon set
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Ubuntu should move away from Tango, to a flat, monochromatic and
sharper icon set. The Tango icons have gradients adding an overhead of
visual complexity. The flat icons in the top Ubuntu panel look good,
and ubuntu must have similar icons across.
This seems to be an accepted modern trend, with even Windows 8
adopting flat monochromatic icons for windows 8. Even Google changed
its favicon, to a flat blue and white logo instead of multi coloured
favicon.
Such icons are visually clean and more obvious and hence less
confusing.
Also in line with Ubuntu's goal to deliver on par performance on
devices of all form factors, I doubt how Tango will behave on small
devices with lower dpi and also on high dpi like the retina. Flat
icons should be much more consistent across all screens.
