I see a pencil. a simplified icon of a pencil. It’s going to look very similar to every other simplified icon of a pencil, so the moment another app has a similar icon, and they’re grouped together in the “notes” folder as people often categorize their apps for easy finding, it’s an entirely unnecessary extra mental step to figure out which one you want to open
I don’t know man I think you misunderstanding it

I guess I’m just not the type of person who’d use two apps for notes?
ok, apply it to messaging or email apps, as it’s very common to use more than one messaging service
if they were all made in the same simplified style, they wouldn’t be differentiable at a glance
the more identifiable an icon is, the better. uniqueness is a great way to do that
