The old Finder logo is a clever ambiguous image. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguous_image

The new Finder logo has so much meaning symbolically for me. It actually has a very ugly meaning to me.

I felt that it is the end of the road for me. My first Mac was a Powermac 7300/200.

btw, nobody ever mentioned that the red close button is next to the minimize button. This is similar to the close button being next to the maximize button on Windows. Just reversed.

On Mac OS classic the close window button is on its own. I really miss Mac OS classic.

If you have time to tinker with it, I highly recommend you spend some time with classic Mac OS! It obviously cannot replace the modern computer, but as a sidekick for your brain it is wonderful… Mac OS 9's Acrobat Reader still supports the PDF website captures by Safari in Sonoma.

I use it as an external brain. I love that the Finder is spatial and has a one-to-one relationship between windows and documents and files and icons… and I benefit from it leaving icons where I put them

And sometimes I play great 90s/2k games on my external brain :)
