The 'Jony Ive Redesigns Things' Tumblr is a single-topic blog that pokes fun at the iOS7 flat design. Apple announced the design for its new mobile operating system this week at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, and lead designer Jony Ive's flat design is either loved or hated, inspiring parodies like this site.
Graphic artist Sasha Agapov launched 'Jony Ive Redesigns Things' to show what other brands and recognizable objects might look like if they had a similar design to iOS7. Agapov's humorous creations puts outrageous psychedelic colors and gradients on everything. He re-imagines the logos for social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, and pop culture items like the iconic Coca-Cola can and the Mona Lisa, depicting the famous painting now with a cellphone attached to her ear.
