They hired PLAYSKOOL graphic designers to make the new icons in Big Sur. Apple did reject a few they made, like the ones for the Apple logo, Lightning and Apple Glass.

How Apple accepted the new Launchpad icon from them makes no sense to me. Can't wait to upgrade and relive my childhood. Catalina still looks pretty good though. May stay with 10.15.6.

Wait a minute. On closer inspection, PLAYSKOOL even designed the original Launchpad icon. Guess we should have seen this coming years ago.
