Revert the icons to the multi-colored versions!

This is an Adobe CC wide issue but AE is where I notice it the most.

Please revert the icons to the multi-colored versions! It makes no sense to make them the same color when the "themes" break down beyond video and photo use. I used the colors to quickly locate the software I needed to open, now I have a taskbar full of purple and have to squint to tell which letters I am clicking on.

It seems like a very poor design choice that was likely made by the boardroom, not the creative team, and I beg you to change the icons back - or at least give US the option to have the multiple colors instead of mono-purple, which I'll add looks horrendous on a dark theme display.

Installed 2022 and immediately clicked the wrong program.

It has been a while since they all shared the same color and it is still a bit inconvenient especially when I am looking at multiple project files of different kinds and I have to take extra time to go through to make sure I am clicking the file I am looking for.

Usually I keep several versions of same app in one pc. But usually the icons of each versions are came with same design. It would be nice if the icons show the version number on it.

Simple to evolve this Adobe and meet you half-way here.

For video KEEP the Purple Square, but alter the colours of the INTERNAL LETTERS to -- white / pure yellow / light Yellow / Bee Yellow / light purple

Yes! Like Instagram lets you choose which colour/theme icon. I chose the funkiest one and now getting mixed up with messenger and Instagram because the colours are the same so goes to show how important colours are for our information processing!

Totally agree! Why are Ae, Pr, Au and Me all the same colours - completely stupid interface design.

So true... the colours now are the same for all the app... When I try to switch from an app to the other it's so confusing
