Now they just need to hire a celebrity to back up all this bullshit. Who's next at coming up with a 'design language'? Blackberry?

Clearly, you know nothing about design. This design language looks pretty solid to me, and is much nicer (IMO) than Google's gee-whiz Material language.

Not saying it's doesn't look nice, but certainly waaay behind Google's Material Design in terms of solidness and clarity IMHO. IBM is just trying to stay 'trendy' IMHO.

From the folder icons in resource zips you can see that they are using Google Drive. Interesting, considering the size of the corporation.

I couldn't find the folder icons. Could you post the link to it please?

I find it interesting that even going to the main homepage at http://ibm.com shows that these guidelines haven't made it very far internally. I'd have thought they would have established their own brand at home before releasing guidelines.

You could have said roughly the same about most of Google's products when they released Material Design.

That's probably not comparable at all.

What's the issue with Google Drive? Do you suggest they should come up with their own whole backup solution? Why reinvent the wheel anyways. Not to mention it's possible that only certain teams use it, not all the teams, nor the teams who have truly sensitive information in the spirit they don't want Google to see.

No issue, just interesting.

I would assume that such a big corporation would have very strict data sharing policies. Apparently, that's not the case. Interesting!
