Same, most of the time it's just lazy design. Like look at it, the emojis look completely out of place on the page, if they just removed the emojis and kept only the text in the colored rectangles it would already look way better.
Or if they could've used some sort of flat emoji font, the emojis they used have a bit of shading but all other elements are completely flat. They look completely out of place. -

@redbastien the issue is the overuse in design and how it just comes off as lazy and uncreative.

@redbastien (glyph) icons are exactly for that purpose. In my opinion emoticons have nothing to do with conveying functionality, icons do. They both have different uses and should not be misused, especially emoticons.

Is anyone else getting REALLY tired of seeing emojis in production apps? Pic related.
It just gives a really generic feeling, and I feel like more and more projects are getting comfortable with just throwing in an emoji and calling it a day. IMO it looks so trashy.
I can understand if it's a small company, but at the same time it's like, couldn't you fork over a few buckaroos to a designer on Behance or Dribbble and make your design a little more YOUR design? I wanna see what your brand represents. Emojis don't really help. Whatever.
