I pulled up the iLife photos in Finder and compared them at 512x512px with the new iTunes logo and... there is no comparison. The amazing detail we find in the former is strangely lacking in the latter and the result is shoddy craftsmanship.
I'm surprised this made it past Jobs...
Even compared to the QuickTime symbol, which has a similar style, the new symbol seems to lack detail and looks shoddy.
Yes! It looks slapped together from stock icons.
Agreed, the new logo is as ugly as sin.
well the CD in the old icon seems kinda outdated ;) but its strange and needs some getting used to i agree.
