The Photoshop Evolution

Over the years, ever since its creation in 1987 the Photoshop logo has faced just as many changes, if not more than the program itself. The screen icons and intro have also been constantly changing. It seems though that while the program is getting more and more advance, the icons and logos that represent it become less creative and meaningful. The new cs3 icons are as minimalist as can get. So I wonder whether that is because Photoshop is already so well know that there is simply no need for as much symbolic representation or are they simply trying to follow a design trend.
