I get that the UI changes made today had the goal of increasing the visibility of certain icons in-game, while it may have succeeded, the UI has been made uglier as a result.
First lets compare the main menu with yesterday:
Old
New
Squad Icons have been made smaller and the clean transparent dark boxes have been replaced with solid grey ones. My favorite thing about the major UI overhaul was that I could see all my squads on the bottom of my screen, this update has reduced that. Please at least restore the sizes of the squad emblems.
Please also restore the sizes of the squad emblems when in game.

new
The new soldier menu is also not great, I dislike how the boxes are now the same color as the background. The previous darker contrast color for the weapon boxes was much more aesthetically pleasing.
In the future I hope we get some better options to customize our UI to our liking.
