Those requests can certainly be done! I hate to admit that we've already hit the freeze for icons this round, so you'll need to bear with the icons as-is until the next version bump - but it gives us some time to iterate, and iteration is never ever a bad thing. I'll do new concepts for Plan and Flow; both of these applications I had particular difficulty with, and I guess it shows. I guess I also misunderstood Plan, but I have some new ideas I'll stew over. I'll also iterate again on sheets.
My hands are a little tied for the next couple weeks on other projects, but I'll set a reminder to tackle the changes. Thanks for the feedback! On Fri, Aug 7, 2015 at 6:26 PM, Friedrich W. H.
