Why Google Why
Google's design team strikes again! Remember when you could instantly recognize Gmail from Drive at a glance? Now we're playing "corporate logo roulette" every time we need to send an email. The evolution from distinct, functional icons to these homogeneous color squares is like watching your codebase after a junior dev discovers design patterns. "Let's refactor everything to be consistent !" Sure, kid. Consistency is great until all your function names are AbstractFactoryBuilderServiceImpl. Now I'm squinting at my phone trying to figure out if I'm about to open my calendar or accidentally join that meeting I've been avoiding. Thanks for the extra cognitive load, Google.

Microsoft's early identity crisis – torn between business software and opening for Metallica.

Name Hijacking
Spent two weeks crafting the perfect project name with SEO keywords, domain availability, and brand potential. Then some dev swoops in and names it "Potato" because "it just felt right." Now we're stuck explaining to investors why our revolutionary fintech solution is called "Potato." Classic. The marketing team is currently in the corner, quietly sobbing into their brand guidelines.
