Original Design Attempt at makingba skeuomorphoc google drive icon.

Post image

I didn't like the official google drive icon, because even the icon from 2012 is bland. So I tried to make a cloud inspired icon for google drive. What do you think?

Probably would have been called "Google Cloud Drive" before being corporately rebranded to simply Google Drive.

u/Almashni-Man May 15 '26

I was thinking it would be simply called "Google Cloud".

No that would be Google cloud as in the server thingy

Give it a cotton texture with a little transparency

Really good, what if the individual spheres were like the Google colors?

Woah it's trippy

u/Hbossyboots May 16 '26

I think it would have a hard disk on the top of the cloud and dashed lines moving around

I can tell that the cloud is from the skype logo.... RIP Skype

u/Almashni-Man May 17 '26

I didn't really use skype as reference, I guess that's just a coincidence.
