I wonder how many power lines that money could bury?

I was just commenting about how it’s half-assed design to just slap an existing icon against a white background and call it a day. Compare to the lawnchair icon, locus, or even the Lyft icon in your screenshot. You find the names annoying, I find the design laziness annoying. Companies do it on iOS as well (including Apple).

Im trying to figure out why the icons all need a white circle behind them.

For now.

What is this obsession with sucking all the color out of UI? That app is blindingly white.
