In the early days of Android Lollipop, there was a leak that gave the world a sneak peek of Google's future for Android and design. Codenamed "Moonshine", it focused on depth, shadows, and layers that mimicked the look and feel of paper. This would later turn out to be a part of Google's new design language, Material Design.
A friend of mine and I decided to recreate these icons, work with developers for a dashboard, and ultimately bring this new style to applications beyond Google's suite. What started as a side project turned into a massive success over a 3 year period—which it is still in production today under a new lead.
