@BasicAppleGuy Those new icons are a reflection of the workforce at #Apple today. I can guarantee you whoever designed the current icons probably worked with digital tools all their life. While those who designed the original icons were likely professionally trained illustrators who used pencils, pens, rulers, and drafting tables for sketching, along with specialized items like X-Acto knives, rubber cement, and T-squares for manual paste-up. Its trade off of the digital society we now live in.

@adacosta @BasicAppleGuy Hot Wax layout, Bromide cameras, and actual airbrushes. When they get to use computers, ONE level of undo only.
That'll learn 'em.

@evilpeacock @adacosta @BasicAppleGuy We’re not expensive relatively speaking, just ask Apple. See the original pages icon at lower left there? We designed that for them. We also made the original Automator icon and others. We’re totally able and willing to help, if Apple would like. 🤓

@Iconfactory @evilpeacock @BasicAppleGuy Did Apple go in house for icon design just like they do for almost every component in the iPhone.
