      At least with the new icons I am more likely to click the right one, I was always "blinded" by the pencil in the old icons when clicking in a hurry.

      That's a very important role of an icon - in which sense it is better.
      Like the Adobe Creative Suite - some years ago they had a white tile for background with some graphic on top representing each application in the suite. It was very difficult to quickly find the correct one. I often clicked on the wrong one - usually when I hot the correct one it was because I knew it's position. When they updated to the more recent style, brightly coloured square with a two-letter initial of the application there was a lot of people on the internet crying havoc - saying the icons weren't inspiring them any more etc. But I think they where a very good change - each application was immediately distinguishable. Much more user friendly than before. While not as graphically "arty" - they did their job much better. Icons are like logos - they are not just pretty graphic, they have a though job to do. And SketchUp's icon - it's actually their logo as well.

      I frowned myself when I saw it the first time - but it's grown on me and when I shake that "everything was better before" feeling and start to think of it as an icon and as a logo I think it's working really well. I never really put much thought to the old one - just accepted it because it was the one SketchUp had when I started using it.

          Very corporate - the blue. I don't see the need to lean towards Trimble style branding. Their websites etc isn't the best visually nor user friendly.

                      If you didnt already read this, Aidan posted the thought processes behind the new logo. I would not have guessed it from looking at the logo without reading this article:

                        Just a note, that you can change your vote if the color grows on ya'... or the logo color is revised later.

                                πŸ‘Ž Looks just like what a bunch of engineers would come up with.
                                50's graphics and just no fun at all.
                                Good freeway sign however.

                                  Man, it's like pullin' teeth to get at least 100 people to cast a vote.

                                    Now that I finally upgraded, have to say these icons are the brightest friggin' thing on my dock by a long shot. Can't misplace them anyway...
