Dynamic iMessage
Would a dynamic Messages icon finally put an end the green-bubble, blue-bubble feud?
At the start of August, I created a concept for Messages that turned the blue-bubble, green-bubble controversy into an elegant, dynamic icon for iOS. Much like how Apple Pay on iPhone creates a unique gradient based on your spending habits, I wanted to imagine an icon that dynamically changed based on who the person interacted with. The more text & RCS messages someone sent, the greener their icon would be, while more iMessages would shift the icon bluer.
To follow up on that post, I wanted to post a small collection of 10 gradient images if you wanted to use gradient Messages on your Apple device. Enjoy!
