The Process
---------------------
In this video, I use Photoshop to create 3 new app icons for popular brands! This is a whirlwind of painting, shading, and throwing together every texture under the sun. We've got some custom illustrations and a lot of photo editing tricks too!

that was from when companies didn't do their IPO, when they do it, they lose their soul, the flat design reflects that, its on purpose to make everything seems the same.

With the world slowly starting to hate on minimalistic designs, it is a matter of time where realistic stuff like Y2K or Skeumorphism will return back in principle in design. And you have perfectly captured the old and gold days of the old iPhone Icons and aesthetic.
Can we download these? I want to change the app icons to actually be these!

These icon designs honestly made me shed a tear at the nostalgia they have brung me, I remember the 2010's were just starting to begin, and I'd play Angry Birds on my Aunt's IPad, and in the process, just admiring all those incredible app icon designs while she flipped through her home screen; amazing Job at these!
Way too underrated tbh

@@DemonPig666 It was. I dunno where this guy is getting that it ever was a "game controller". Yes, Discord is primarily used for communication while gaming but I am pretty sure he just made up thsi part about the logo, or is just claiming his own interpretation is the actual story behind it. (it is not.)

As someone who was an app designer in the skeuomorphic age of design, it was great seeing such detailed design again! Though, better than a lot of what was seen then.
Brandon single handedly bringing back skeuomorphic
I used this video as a timer for my cookies. L-...Like they are supposed to be in the oven for 10-11 minutes so this is perfect.
HE'S BACK HE'S FRICKIN' BACK
Your skills at highlights and shadows is so next level. Also it killed me that the spotify lines were slightly rotated instead of perfectly straight.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who misses the dimensional skeuomorphic app designs. I like how the methods you used are relatively simple but create a very convincingly dimensional object.
You could have integrated your sponsor a lot better by making their logo realistic while talking about it.

You just can't stop impressing me with your editing, art, ideas, videos, photoshop skills- literally everything else. You are so freaking talented and you can't stop showing me. I love it.
Your attention to detail is just insane!!! Another awesome work, Brandon.

Wow, two videos within a week! Dare to dream of an expanded video schedule. I love your videos...so creative and well-executed. And you talk through them very well, taking you from just a talented artist to also a talented KZread personality.
Really impressive how well you use lighting to make everything look realistic. All my digital work tends to look very flat.
Love this & how you talked through the process!
You should do turning brands into apps next!
You alway manage to inspire me to get back on photoshop and be creative
More app icons. This was incredible! That Discord one was amazing!!
absolutely stunning work ❤
Love this idea! I'd love to see more of this series! Old app icons are my favorite kinds of design
Wow! Another video in such a short time frame! Love it!
he absolutely ANNIHILATED us this episode like chill
Keep creating man. I love watching your videos..we need more content like that...
BACK TO BACK VIDSS LATELY 👏!!
honestly this is really impressive! discord looks cool, fits the vibe of the app very well!
Absolutely amazing as always 🔥
favourite yt channel currently! love you man
I really get excited when you post a video I wish i could watch a new video every week
Thank you for another inspiring video Brandon!
Keep this upload frequency please!! I love your videos!
Love the realism. You explain and execute so well. Thanks.
Man I love your realistic artstyle, it's so good loocking that I wish this would become mainstream again
Wow. Every time I watch this I'm astounded by this work. It honestly really impresses me how he can make super realistic logos, or super simple logos. This channel always finds ways to impress me.
I can just listen to you and fall asleep and love rewatching your vids while sleeping already rewatched 4 times most probably goin for my 5th
Its crazy how this man can create ultra realistic depth and reflections and make it look so easy
Woah all the app icons look so fantastic and You do a amazing job, my favorite video is the famous brands video😃
Actually jaw-dropping work. I’m stunned
So good as always! You should switch the joystick and buttons though because joysticks are usually on the left.
i love your stuff dude!
Truly a man after my own heart. These logo complexifying videos are always a banger.
this video is making me feel nostalgic, i miss when app designs back in the early, mid 2010s were in that style
this is the definition of good designing
This video was great. I would love at the end a before and after of all the app icons
I’m obsessed with the discord app redesign! I don’t have the app but I would download it based on that icon alone! Great job!
You’re such a great designer and you explain so well. I love all your videos and I think I’ve binged everything 😅

I will never be able to do this, but these videos are so freaking entertaining! To come up with these ideas and make them out of nothing is amazing, truly!
These videos are so great I feel like I’m learning while enjoying the vid
Your attention to detail is so mesmerising. I really miss the old skeuomorphic style of iOS 6 and prior, so I could watch these all day. Please do more!
