So…Apple just built the App Store from popsicle sticks. Or, I should say, rebuilt. First posted by @iClulture (viaThe Next Web), there are some new icons in iOS 11 Developer Beta 6, including this popsicle stand.
Old App Store icon on the left, new iOS 11 DB6 App Store icon on the rightApp Store Icons for Mac App Larry G needed a new icon or button design and created a contest on 99designs. A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers. Icons is one of the first native Mac Apps for previewing and generating iOS device icons. Since then, Icons has gone through some major updates and a complete new look. Offering more features then any other Icon Preview / Generation software on the App Store.
There are updated icons for Maps and the Clock apps, as well, as shown below.
De zesde beta van iOS 11 brengt nieuwe icoontjes voor de App Store-, Kaarten- en Klok-app https://t.co/vvHT64icmSpic.twitter.com/LVKQ1qxau6- This app makes the desktop icons disapear, but when you make them visible again, THEY’RE IN THE SAME PLACE! If you move you icons to another folder then move them back, everything will move around. I organize my desktop so that I can find things on it, and having the icons move around would be unacceptable to me.
- Hi guys- Looks like the mac app store has a problem with some apps not having icons. I updated my app last week and the icon vanished. Any idea how.

Popsicle Sticks?
I’m not sure what message Apple wants to deliver with the new App Store icon, but I see popsicle sticks. And that doesn’t exactly say “quality” to me. The App Store is just that, though, quality.
The old icon hit on that thread of art and technology that is so important to Apple. It said that apps were created by artists. I get that message. I don’t get popsicle sticks.
Mind you, even if we all hate it, we’ll get used to it and deal with it. Apple seldom cares about kneejerk reactions like mine. I imagine that will be the case here, too. It’s also possible it will be changed before the final release of iOS 11.

I’d love to know what you folks think.
