‘Jony Ive Redesigns Things’ pokes fun at colorful iOS 7 redesign

Ever since the debut of iOS 7's new design on Monday, critics have been split about it. But one thing's for sure -- the design concept barely ever works when applied to other logos and items.

Ever since the debut of iOS 7 on Monday, critics have been split on whether Jony Ive’s new design is really a step forward or simply a colorful retouch that actually hinders the future of design.

So it was only a matter of time before a decent Tumblr blog full of images making fun of iOS 7 and Ive’s design popped up. The blog Jony Ive Redesigns Things takes logos and other properties and gives them a makeover using Ive’s iOS 7 style.

Logos for Google, Instragram, Facebook, Evernote, Adobe Create Cloud, and more all get shiny makeovers with a lot of color. Some are quite funny (like the Evernote unicorn below) but a few are actually nice to look at.
