The Google Maps Announce Video Is What The Future Of App Icons Ought To Be


Every time Google releases a new app, product or service, they make a quaint little announce video. It’s no different for Google Maps for iPhone, except this video features a nifty little feature that I’d love to see on app icons in the future.

In the video, the app icon actually changes to represent different locations. Think of it like Bing backgrounds, only on your app icons. That’s awesome!

What’s one graphical modification you’d make to your phone if you could?
