I love the finely crafted icons of the past -- pure nostalgia of my biggest inspiration, webOS. I am reminded of Rich Dellinger's 3D icons that weren't soulless renderings, but finely adjusted for the tiny canvas.

But in reality, there was nobody to hand-render every nightly build icon. It never happened.

How do you feel about the current minimalist style with a lower entry barrier versus the elaborate designs of the past?
