I think both are kinda bad. The new ones can do with some added detail.  

I don't understand how anyone can prefer the old gralats. They look like someone opened paint and scribbled inarticulately onto the canvas and mumbled, "Art", through spoonfuls of glue.

That aside, Even if the old ones were better, there's no point in keeping them. If you haven't noticed, recently ("Recently" = ~1-2 years ago) there has been a gradual change in non-item graphics around iClassic - a wild uniform graphical style appears! I'm glad classic is continuing this "Out with the old, in the the new" trend. Recently iClassic has been becoming more and more uniform and it's really increased the quality of graphics over that 1-2 year period.

That aside as well, I seriously doubt it's going to be changed back and I'm sure you'll get used to it the same way you got used to the new tileset when that came out. Change can be hard - but you'll get used to it!

I prefer the old ones, graphically the new ones may be better. But I think the old ones had a much better design. I think maybe if old ones were just cleaned up it would've been good. But totally changing the entire look is kinda ridiculous.

We didn't completely change the entire look... We refined the old ones. They still have the same shape and same creases (where the ugly black lines were). They were changed to match the rest of the world and to make it look more like crystals, which is what they are. They're pretty >:O  

A good future update of returning to old graphics would be nice

like a option to change the tiles to the older ones

Never mind, all I had seen was your post on Facebook and it looked way different there, just logged on my phone and saw them in game. I agree the old ones were ugly-- just didn't realize how similar the new ones were.

Sorry, but different players should not see different things. Not only does this create a divide where there shouldn't be, it opens the floodgates to players demanding that we cater to their desires because we have the ability to "make it an option."  

I like the new ones; the texture suits a crystal way better, plus the screenshots don't do it justice, because it's nicely animated. Next to nothing was changed; shape and edges of the crystal all are the same, maybe even the outline.

It may feel like a big change, but I like it. It's almost 2015. Even though it isn't entirely "traditional", if you were to compare both gralats, while considering the graphics of other iOS games in the market... I'm not surprised they picked an updated look. Current players may not like it; but new players probably will, because detailed & textured art is generally what iOS gamers are already used to.  

So shiny...  

Only thing I don't like about them is there awkward polished smoothness. I do like the new shine, and the shading is cool too, but they look like unnatural man made child proof rocks.

In case anyone is curious:
 

I prefer the new ones, the old ones look like a mangled tree sapling. The new one looks like a shiny refined crystal. Thats what a gralat is.  

tbh i think the staff should remove the gralat spawn for a few hours when its busy farming n stuff so you can all be like, new one or none, deal with it. they look a lot better bc i could never figure out what it was before but now i see texture... however the rainbows just look red n orange bc grass covers the bottom  

I like the new ones better, but the shape has always been weird xx

lovin the sig  

First you release a hat with male parts in the back and now you give us gralats with boners. When did Thallen replace Xor?
