Reactions to the Adobe CS3 'periodic table' product icons were mixed, with some strong negative opinions flying about. However, some folks not only got on well with the design system, but took it to the next level- check out this completely CS3-ized dock - links/reference courtesy of the Unofficial Apple Weblog.
Now I didn't mind the CS3 icons after an initial adjustment period, but this may be taking it a bit too far... I can't even guess at most of those applications in there. ;-)
As a former Chemistry Sciences student - then dropped out to learn database, programming, and design stuff... then back to being a Chemistry student while working at a multimedia company as a Flash developer - I'm loving this change, feels just like me, at present :D
Yeah... that's ugly.
